Connected
Development

An international hub for community based development

OUR OBJECTIVE

Connected Development envisions a future in which international development cooperation leads to sustainable change. Our focus is on promoting community-based approaches designed by local and national civil society organisations.

Our consultancy services help grantmaking organisations to partner directly with locally led nonprofits, whom we guide towards financial sustainability through coaching courses. Through interaction and exchange, we work with both sides to build strategic partnerships that increase collective impact.

Our international network acts as a peer-to-peer learning hub for practitioners, research institutions and university volunteers. Connected Development aims to introduce more innovative, dynamic, and cost-effective ways of conducting international development cooperation. 

CONSULTANCY

Connected Development works with a wide range of clients including philanthropic foundations, high-net worth individuals, businesses, and international non governmental organisations, through 3 key themes.

Field Assessments

We travel to the field to assess local nonprofit organisations and the impact of their programmes on behalf of private or corporate grantmaking foundations.

Grant Management

We review philanthropic strategy, set up grant monitoring systems, and evaluate funding applications to enable donors to partner directly with local nonprofits.
