SNV is a not-for-profit international development organization that makes a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty by helping them raise their incomes and access basic services. We focus on three sectors – agriculture, energy, and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) – and have a long-term, local presence in 24 countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. We make a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty, helping them raise their incomes and access basic services.
Driven by Sustainable Development Goals, we are dedicated to a society in which all people are free to pursue their own sustainable development, and no one is left behind. This commitment to equity directs us to focus on gender and youth. SNV bridges the gap between theory and practice, policy ambitions, and effective implementation at scale.
