Partnerships
We work with a wide range of partners worldwide, from local community-based organizations and municipal governments to research universities and international non-profits. Our partnerships are rooted in the philosophy that solutions can be found in the indigenous knowledge of communities. Our work aims to support and complement such knowledge with academic and practical tools and training.
