Partnerships for sustainable development

Cooperation with partner organisations

Strong partnerships and cooperation with various partner organisations such as national authorities and institutions, universities and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a central role in our work. They are essential for achieving common goals and the success of our projects. These partnerships allow us to make optimum use of our diverse resources and expertise.

  • By working with national authorities and institutions, we can gain political support and ensure that our projects are both in line with national development strategies and complement them in a meaningful way.

  • Universities offer valuable scientific expertise and innovative approaches that enrich our projects and increase their effectiveness.

  • NGOs contribute their local experience and proximity to the affected communities, which is crucial for the successful implementation of our initiatives.

We work together with these organisations

Contribution to networking

A key contribution of our work is to provide a platform for dialogue that enables people to network, learn from each other and work together towards a better future. By sharing experiences and best practices, innovative approaches can be developed and disseminated.

Our platform promotes interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration across geographical and institutional boundaries. This creates networks that facilitate the transfer of knowledge and technology and support the joint solution of global problems. Overall, through our partnerships and engagement, we strive to promote sustainable and equitable development that benefits all people.
