Our work around the world
We are right where we are needed. Now and in the future.
Partners and commissioning parties can count on the services we provide in around 120 countries – now and in the future. Our decades of experience and extensive networking lay a solid foundation for tackling the challenges of the 21st century: mitigating the negative impacts of climate change, strengthening democracy and good governance, ensuring migration happens under decent conditions, promoting participation in the economy and protecting human health are just a few of the issues where international cooperation is needed. At the same time, we act with foresight and enhance our capacity to implement effective projects by drawing on new technologies and ensuring a high degree of flexibility.
We undertake our commissions in a spirit of curiosity, which we share with the people involved in our projects. Often, they are young people who we support in their thirst for knowledge and in their desire to play their part in shaping a peaceful and fair future that is worth living on our planet. In this section, we showcase projects that actively pursue these objectives – often in difficult conditions. And we hear from the men and women working with us to shape the future.
