Connected 
Development 

Connecting grantmakers & locally led nonprofits

OUR OBJECTIVE

Connected Development envisions a future in which local communities are empowered to shape the development programmes that affect their lives.

 

We engage with grantmakers and locally led nonprofits based all over the world in order to understand their goals and perspectives. Through interaction and exchange, we work with both sides to build partnerships that strengthen long term development outcomes.

 

Our consultancy services guide donors throughout their international giving journey. Our international network acts as a knowledge exchange hub for civil society organisations, practitioners, research institutions and university volunteers.
