Focus areas
Other impact areas
At SNV, we envision a world where, across every society, all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to thrive sustainably.
We apply our strong foundations and technical expertise within and across three inter-related sectors of agri-food, energy, and water, which are critical to enabling people to lead dignified lives and thrive.
Within and across these sectors, we work on three core themes: GESI, climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance.
Across these sectors and themes, we also focus on impact driven finance, digitalistion, systems change, and youth.
Digitalisation
Digitalisation presents opportunities and barriers alike. SNV works to bridge the digital divide and build an inclusive future for communities in low- and middle income countries (LIMCs).
Impact driven finance
To achieve our global ambitions, developing countries face a funding gap of US$ 2.5 trillion. SNV employs a range of innovative mechanisms to help bridge that gap.
Transforming systems
Millions of people lack secure access to food, energy, and water. To counter this, we need to pursue a level of change that addresses the root causes of poverty and inequality rather than just treating symptoms.
Youth
Young people can be a positive force for development across the globe. At SNV, our aim is to build opportunities for them to thrive.
