Our Topics

Climate & Disaster Resilience

Every year, we support over 1,000,000 people in adapting to climate change, reducing the risks of disasters, sustainably managing natural resources, and conserving nature.

Education and Vocational Skills

Lack of education perpetuates inequality because poor countries cannot compete economically without a skilled workforce.

Voice, Inclusion & Cohesion

In many countries where we work, men and women are unable to claim their rights and participate actively in decision-making processes.

Our work in the countries

In addition to the countries listed below, we implement the RECONOMY program for the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), spanning 12 countries of Eastern Europe, Southern Caucasus and Western Balkans.
