Our Partners

 

Collaboration is a vital strand in Practical Action’s DNA and our partnerships are the foundations all our work is built upon.

Collaboration with many other groups and organisations is essential to the success of our international efforts. This page features some of our global partners. Our local partners are featured on the relevant country pages.

We were honoured to have our approach to partnering in Bangladesh recognised with the 2019 Collaboration Award from BOND, the UK network for organisations working in international development.
