AKDN works in more than 30 countries across the globe, particularly in the poorest areas of Africa and Asia. We have offices in Europe and North America, but most of our 96,000 employees are in the developing world.
Regional needs are different, but our goal to improve the quality of life remains the same. Our experts partner with communities, governments and other organisations to bring appropriate development programmes to each region.
“
And I think that the common denominator amongst all peoples is to improve the quality of life.
That is a basic fact and I have seen communities that have conflictual relationships over decades change their whole philosophy of life because they had come together around a common purpose that they had defined. Not our agencies. They had defined. They had told us in their societies, in their organisations, what were the priorities they wanted.
