How we work

Cordaid works towards strengthened and transformed systems that benefit underserved people in fragile and conflict-affected regions. This involves making the systems more inclusive, sustainable, equitable, and effective so people can live a dignified and healthy life in peace.

Locally-Led Development

We believe locally-led development is essential for fostering equity in international humanitarian and development efforts. We can effectively address long-term development challenges by empowering local actors to take the lead.

System Strengthening

By focusing on system strengthening, we create long-term impacts for large populations. Without equitable access to critical services, entire generations are at risk of being thrown into even deeper spirals of poverty and exclusion. Based on our expertise and proven track record, we will further develop and innovate our system-strengthening approaches to accelerate access to quality services for all.

Triple Nexus

In our triple nexus approach, we link relief to rehabilitation, development and peacebuilding. We collaborate with local partners, communities and other key actors and enhance their capacities to timely respond to unfolding hazards and disasters.

Performance-Based Financing

Performance-based financing or results-based financing is both a resource mobilisation and allocation approach as well as a social accountability mechanism. It is one of Cordaid’s most successful strategies to improve the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of development programmes by tying payments to pre-agreed outcomes.
