CALL FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
INTRODUCTION
SNV, Netherlands Development Organisation is a not-for-profit international development organization. Founded in the Netherlands nearly 50 years ago, we have built a long-term, local presence in 38 of the poorest countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Our global team of local and international advisors work with local partners to equip communities, businesses and organizations with the tools, knowledge and connections they need to increase their incomes and gain access to basic services – empowering them to break the cycle of poverty and guide their own development. We aim to achieve inclusive growth and development which are essential for lasting development success. SNV focuses on three sectors: agriculture, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and renewable energy.
SNV seeks to work with local organisations (CSOs and private sector organisations) at sub-national level that have knowledge of the local context, and the competencies to engage in longer term process and outcome orientated, rather than short term task and output orientated assignments. Sustainable and inclusive development requires, local ownership, locally contextualised solutions and systemic change i.e. change that involves all parts of a system, taking into account the interrelationships and interdependencies among those parts. Change in relations (which is about how things are done) between different actors/organisations is a long-term process.
