Agriculture and Food Security

Working with smallholder farmers and communities to promote climate-resilient practices, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve access to knowledge, resources, and markets, with particular attention to women, young people, and excluded groups.
Inclusive livelihoods
Connecting skills, secure work, and economic opportunity for excluded groups, with a focus on empowering women and young people to build sustainable livelihoods and greater economic independence.

Our work includes analysing budgets, tracking expenditure, procurement observation, and monitoring delivery to help ensure public resources are used for the benefit of the people.
Disability Advocacy

Working alongside people with disabilities to remove barriers, challenge discrimination, and strengthen their voice in decisions that affect their lives.
02 / Our approach
Evidence grounded in everyday life.
Lasting change needs more than a good idea. We bring research and practice together, working alongside communities and partners to understand what matters and learn what works.
