SNV employs more than 1,500 professional advisors in the field, dispatched through 100 offices, in five regions and more than 40 countries worldwide. As SNV professionals, we are strategic problem solvers united by a deep commitment and passion to make a difference. We are all proven leaders, inspired by the daunting challenges we confront each and every day, but driven by limitless possibilities to contribute to transformative social change working side by side with others who share the same dream and ambition and who take pride in what SNV does.
SNV's distinct advantage lies in its deep local knowledge and broad network of in-country contacts, established thanks to over 40 years of on-the-ground presence. Rather than being compelled to send a team of experts on-site and then manage them from a far away central bureau, SNV runs local projects and serves clients from in-country or regional mission offices.
