Title
Cordaid
Description
Cordaid does not implement projects in developing countries itself, except in cases of humanitarian emergencies. Instead, we cooperate with local organizations. These organizations may provide health care, shelter to children living in the streets or work to underprivileged young people, or they fight for the rights of slum dwellers.
Cooperation is more effective, and what is more, local organizations know best what is required in order to improve the living conditions in the area in question. For example, information on HIV/AIDS is provided differently in Africa to in the Netherlands. Together we draw up policy and we are jointly responsible for the results.
Poverty is a complicated issue. There is no one cause and therefore there is more than one solution. Cordaid therefore tackles poverty using a variety of approaches.
