Seva Mandir's mission is to make real the idea of society consisting of free and equal citizens who are able to come together and solve the problems that affect them in their particular contexts. The commitment is to work for a paradigm of development and governance that is democratic and polyarchic. Seva Mandir seeks to institutionalise the idea that development and governance is not only to be left to the State and its formal bodies like the legislature and the bureaucracy, but that citizens and their associations should engage separately and jointly with the State. The mission briefly, is to construct the conditions in which citizens of plural backgrounds and perspectives can come together and deliberate on how they can work to benefit and empower the least advantaged in society.

The mandate of UNFPA, as established by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 1973 and reaffirmed in 1993, is (1) to build the knowledge and the capacity to respond to needs in population and family planning; (2) to promote awareness in both developed and developing countries of population problems and possible strategies to deal with these problems; (3) to assist their population problems in the forms and means best suited to the individual countries' needs; (4) to assume a leading role in the United Nations system in promoting population programmes, and to coordinate projects supported by the Fund. At the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), held in Cairo in 1994, these broad ideas were elaborated to emphasise the gender and human rights dimensions of population. UNFPA was given the lead in helping countries carry out the Programme of Action adopted by 179 governments at the Cairo Conference. In 2010, the United Nations General Assembly extended the ICPD beyond 2014, which was the original end date for the 20-year Programme of Action.

The objects of the Charity are for the public benefit: (1) to advance the education of the public in the subject of Libyan culture and heritage; (2) to develop the capacity and skills of the socially disadvantaged members of the diaspora Libyan community within the United Kingdom in such a way that they are better able to: (i) identify, and help meet, their needs; and (ii) more fully participate in, and contribute positively to, British society; and (3) to advance such charitable purposes (according to the law of England and Wales) as the trustees see fit from time to time. Libya in the UK (LYUK) is an independent non-governmental organisation led by Libyan youth living in the diaspora. We seek to be a hub for Libyans in the UK to foster a shared sense of community. We provide a platform for networking and knowledge sharing for all Libyans and implement initiatives to advance Libyan art, culture, young talent and entrepreneurship. Ultimately, LYUK aims to build a vibrant and diverse Libyan community in the UK. Our core values are independence and integrity and we strive for excellence in all areas of our work.
