With our local partners, we are ensuring communities are governed more inclusively, improving health and nutrition, enhancing livelihoods, and strengthening climate resiliency.
For more than 55 years, we’ve supported solution creators—our counterparts—in more than 65 countries around the world, helping people build better lives and more durable futures. Counterpart partners with leaders, organizations, and networks to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which people thrive.
Locally led development
In a world where threats to democracy and fundamental freedoms undermine essential human rights, Counterpart’s mission to support local communities in building inclusive, sustainable, and transparent societies is more important than ever. Locally led development is integral to our approach. Along with our partners, we create resilient food systems, buttress civil society, support climate initiatives, and work toward responsive governance in the communities we serve.
Partnering with organizations worldwide
Counterpart’s programs reach around the world to the places where help is needed the most. We partner with local leaders, organizations, and networks to build inclusive, sustainable communities in which people thrive. In 2022, we provided $4.7 million to local organizations to achieve their development outcomes, standing alongside our partners as they forge their own futures.
