Network

We join - and in some cases have founded - Italian and international networks. Promoting partnerships with other NGOs and international bodies allows us greater effectiveness in our actions and places our strategies in broader contexts. For us, development is the result of joint efforts, and therefore we collaborate with other organisations and participate in various associations and networks to contribute with our experience, learn from others and develop analyses and reflections on the complexity of the contexts in which we intervene.
