Teamwork
Many of our important projects run for years. Also, most of them are developed and implemented together with or by local partners. Our working methods always aim to find a balance between strategically oriented concepts and their implementation by using region-based knowledge. We also believe that cooperations between foundations improve outreach and strengthen the results.
