In a world where threats to democracy and fundamental freedoms undermine essential human rights, Counterpart’s mission to support local communities in building inclusive, sustainable, and transparent societies is more important than ever. Locally led development is integral to our approach. Along with our partners, we create resilient food systems, buttress civil society, support climate initiatives, and work toward responsive governance in the communities we serve.
