Collaborating Organizations
Chronic hunger and poverty are complex and far-reaching problems. Solutions require the contribution and cooperation of a variety of committed and highly competent organizations. Moreover, collaboration can:
- support mutual learning;
- increase visibility of shared issues;
- create opportunities for innovation;
- leverage expertise and experience;
- achieve greater scale; and
- enhance efficiency and effectiveness of services.
Recognizing these benefits as well as our responsibility to contribute to knowledge and practice in international development, microfinance, public health and adult learning, Freedom from Hunger actively participates in professional organizations, maintains close relationships with academic institutions and researchers, and seeks opportunities to collaborate with peer organizations. These include the following:
