Policy influencing

Woord en Daad recognizes two areas of policy influencing: in the North and in the South. Policy influencing in the North consists of discussing the budget on development aid with the Dutch and European government and parliament. Policy influencing in the South consists of constantly appealing to governments to take charge of the issues on education, food security, and healthcare, because governments in the South often fail to fulfil their responsibility or lack sufficient capacity. Woord en Daad also support partner organizations in their contact with governments in the South.
