Who We Work With

TREE AID works with a range of partners to deliver our programme including local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community based organisations (CBOs), national NGOs, international NGOs, government agencies and international organisations such as the UN's Food and Agriculture organisation (FAO).

Through these partnerships we seek to achieve greater:

Efficiency - To avoid duplicating work, matching indigenous expertise with external resources

Ownership & Participation - Sharing power and decision making with local people

Legitimacy - Establishing a local mandate for TREE AID

Sustainability - Strengthening capacity of local organisations to continue the work after funding ceases or formal partnership agreements run out.
