The Society for the Promotion of Education and Research (SPEAR) one of Belize's leading registered civil society organizations. It is a non-government, non-partisan and not-for-profit membership organization. Formed in 1969, SPEAR aimed to contribute to the making of modern Belize through increased national and political consciousness and people's participation. SPEAR's current mission statement commits the organization to "empowering people to struggle for justice, democracy, and sustainable development". This mission is implemented through three priority programme areas:Advocacy, Community Empowerment and Public Information and Education. Through these programmes people are better able to critically reflect on their realities, examine alternative options and take informed action. The work of SPEAR is funded principally by grants from international agencies. A small amount is raised from services provided occasionally.
Anyone who subscribes to the aims and objectives of the organization is encouraged to become a member.
