Governance Insight Foundation

Our Work

With our local partners, we are ensuring communities are governed more inclusively, improving health and nutrition, enhancing livelihoods, and strengthening climate resiliency.

Our mission is to work alongside community leaders, organizations, and networks to shape positive change. We envision a world where inclusive communities ensure basic needs such as food security are met, environmentally sustainable practices take root, and, where citizens hold government to account, protect and promote human rights, and foster constructive public dialogue.

What We Do

Locally led development

In a world where threats to democracy and fundamental freedoms undermine essential human rights, Counterpart’s mission to support local communities in building inclusive, sustainable, and transparent societies is more important than ever. Locally led development is integral to our approach. Along with our partners, we create resilient food systems, buttress civil society, support climate initiatives, and work toward responsive governance in the communities we serve.
