At SNV, we want to see a world where across every society, all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to thrive sustainably.
Our world is changing with dramatic speed: from pandemics to conflicts to environmental crises, hundreds of millions of people still lack access to energy, food, and water. And we know that development progress is not yet reaching everyone.
That’s why, driven by the Sustainable Development Goals, we aim to strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that can transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems. Our projects directly benefit millions of people across Africa and Asia. They contribute to true systems transformation, while promoting gender equality and social inclusion, facilitating climate adaptation and mitigation, and strengthening institutions and effective governance.
