The latest from us
Focus areas
Other impact areas
We envision a world where, across all societies, everyone lives with dignity and has equal opportunities to thrive sustainably.
Our strong foundations and technical expertise span three interconnected sectors: agri-food, energy, and water, which are essential for enabling people to lead dignified lives and prosper.
Within and across these sectors, we focus on three core themes: GESI, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions with effective governance.
Additionally, across these sectors and themes, we emphasise impact-driven finance, digitalisation, systems change, and youth.
Digitalisation
Digitalisation presents opportunities and barriers alike. SNV works to bridge the digital divide and build an inclusive future for communities in low- and middle income countries (LMICs).
Impact driven finance
To achieve our global ambitions, developing countries face a funding gap of US$ 2.5 trillion. SNV employs a range of innovative mechanisms to help bridge that gap.
Transforming systems
Millions of people lack secure access to food, energy, and water. To counter this, we need to pursue a level of change that addresses the root causes of poverty and inequality rather than just treating symptoms.
About us
We are a global development partner rooted in and working across Africa and Asia. With a team of approximately 1,600 people, our mission is to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform agri-food, energy and water systems to enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.
