RSSPartners & Funders
Our Partners
The belief that partnerships lead to better results is one of the core values underlying our approach. The potential, needs and interests of our partners combined with our own expertise shape what we do and how we do it. Collaborating with partners and donors allows us to create higher levels of synergy and effectiveness. We consider this a fundamental best practice in conflict transformation. To foster and maintain the highest level of expertise and joint learning we actively participate in global, regional and national networks.
