Both ENDS

Both ENDS supports the work of environmental organisations in the so-called South (developing countries) and in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. The main objective is to implement sustainable forms of natural resource management in the South. To achieve this objective, Both ENDS enhances the capacity of Southern NGOs by supporting them in fundraising, research, advocacy, campaigning and networking. For that purpose Both ENDS produces funding guides, research- and lobby guidelines and helps to build coalitions between NGOs. Both ENDS is not a funding agency, but mediates for funding.

The rationale of the organisation is to connect both ends of the world, - the North and the South - by exchanging knowledge and experience in order to make decision-makers and development-donors in the North aware of the achievements and the needs of local development groups in the South.
