Who We Are

How we work
The JDC offers different types of support and guidance to activity implementation teams. In most cases, this entails a combination of the following:
• Financial investments covering full or partial costs of proposed activities as relevant;
• Technical guidance and support in order to ensure high quality outputs and useful outcomes, to allow learning from expertise, and to streamline processes;
• Strategic advice to initiate and develop activities that are relevant to shape policy dialogue and inform programs;
• Partnership building and coordination to identify and connect partners to enhance project outcomes, capitalize on synergies and increase impact.
