No reported asset diversions, no insider transactions, no fundraisers keeping most of the money, and the governance policies we check for are in place.

Agriculture: we help farmers and agribusinesses sustainably improve productivity, access markets, and feed a growing population. This involves catalyzing sustainable production, agribusiness supply chains, and effective natural resource management. We focus on nutrient-rich commodities, tree crops, and agroforestry, often reaching producers through cooperatives, farm groups, and private service providers.
Resilience: we help communities and households better prepare for, withstand, and recover from shocks and stresses. We promote the resilience of people and systems through work that spans a range of areas: governance, peace and reconciliation, risk management, climatechange adaptation, community and livelihood development, water and sanitation, and peace and reconciliation.
