SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, Bangladesh
SNV will continue to apply our strong foundations and technical expertise within and across three inter-related sectors that are critical to enabling people to lead dignified lives and thrive: agri-food, energy, and water. We strive to combine breadth and focus, entwining our sector expertise with three cross- sectoral core themes: gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), climate adaptation and mitigation, and strong institutions and effective governance. Across these sectors of focus and core themes, we will align our efforts with the relevant SDGs and contribute measurably to specific elements of nine SDGs.
To strengthen capacities and catalyse partnerships that transform the agri-food, energy, and water systems, which enable sustainable and more equitable lives for all.
A world where across every society, all people live with dignity and have equitable opportunities to sustainably thrive.
Our core values of trust and respect, equity and equality, and diversity and people- centredness, are fundamental to who we are, and what we do. This is reflected in our vision and mission, and in this strategy - which sets out our aspirations and commitments and will be our compass for the next seven years.
Throughout our history we have adapted and evolved according to the changing environment in which we have operated. This new strategy continues that progression, while holding true to the essence and spirit of SNV.
We have always been – and will remain – a decentralised organisation, seeking to grow and maximise the potential and diversity of our global talent. We believe this equips us to develop the contextual understanding and critical long-term relationships that are so important to enabling others to harness their own potential and the opportunities they themselves prioritise.
