In close cooperation with local organizations we conceptualize, accompany and support projects on peace and reconciliation, human rights and environmental protection. We assure our partner organizations – mostly emerging grassroots organizations without much experience in fundraising – substantial support over a fixed period of time. This cooperation is assessed regularly and modified if needed.
