Akvo project partners come in three flavours:

Field partners

Akvo field partners implement the projects listed in Akvo, in collaboration with the local community. Our field partners have been specially vetted and selected through the Akvo partner network: all are trusted partners.

How to become a project partner

All Akvo field project partners are what we call "trusted partners." This means at least one of our support or finance partners has a well-established working relationship with the field project partner.

Most of our partners are well-known to Akvo staff or have worked closely with our network for a long time. Over many years our partners have built up a level of trust amongst themselves, and Akvo is tapping into that network, slowly building it out.
