At PfD, partnership thrives at many levels but most importantly at the local level. Significant and lasting change occurs when we work hand-in-hand with one another. PfD strives to include local partners at every level from design to implementation to evaluation. PfD works side-by-side with dozens local partners, from community nonprofits to civil society organizations, village governments to local volunteers.

Local partners are the backbone of PfD’s work. Working in partnership with local groups helps PfD ensure that programs meet local needs. Local involvement and ownership increases the likelihood that gains will be sustained.
