SNV is a mission-driven global development partner, rooted in the contexts and societies where we work.

Inspired by the transformational principles and objectives set out by the SDGs, we are committed to building resilient agri-food systems that deliver food security and adequate nutrition; to increasing the reliability and availability of water and sanitation at an acceptable quantity and quality; and to improving access to affordable and sustainable energy for all.

In doing so, we aim to strengthen institutions, markets and effective governance within and across the Agri-food, Energy, and Water sectors, reduce gender inequalities and barriers to social inclusion, and enable adaptation and mitigation to the climate and biodiversity crises.

We are one team of over 1,600 people, the vast majority of whom come from the contexts where we work, in more than 20 countries in Africa and Asia. Together, we are committed to effective and efficient stewardship of resources and maximising positive, lasting impacts. Our ability to deliver results rests on our robust foundation of experience, knowledge, evidence and learning; our commitment to strengthening capacities and catalysing partnerships; and the relationships and trust of those we work alongside.

In SNV’s strategic framework (2023 – 2030) our focus is on contributing to a transformational level of change in agri-food, energy, and water systems - resulting in sustainable and more equitable lives for all. In all our work, the wider goal of transforming systems is embedded in the choices we make, inclusive of the enabling, facilitative, and partnership-centric approaches we take within our projects and programmes.
