We lift up incomes and access to basic services
SNV makes a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty, helping them raise incomes and access basic services. Driven by the Sustainable Development Goals, they 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.
We apply our know-how to deliver results at scale
SNV bridges the gap between theory and practice, policy ambitions and effective implementation at scale. We implement approaches tailored to local needs as we believe that countries and communities themselves should be the owners of change. By connecting our global expertise with our extensive and longstanding in-country experiences, we help realize locally owned solutions. We are experts in agriculture, energy, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Within these three sectors, we have defined eight products. Our services include advice, brokering and stakeholder engagement, advocacy, fund management, results-based financing and delegated management. Our projects directly benefit millions of people.
SNV commits to operational excellence
We are proud to be a not-for-profit organization, implementing our mission exclusively through project financing.
