OUR FIELD
Over the last 20 years, the world has witnessed substantial changes. The consolidation of individual and shared interests, challenges and agendas, including the new global agenda; the increasing number and diversity of relevant actors; as well as current and future mega trends – such as climate change, migration, urbanisation and technology – are deeply transforming the field of international cooperation.
Col-lab arises from the conviction that those changes are not only real, but also require new approaches and solutions.
COL-LAB IS A RESPONSE TO THE GROWING NEED OF A WIDE ARRAY OF ORGANISATIONS TO UNDERSTAND CHANGES IN THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND JOIN FORCES TO ENCOURAGE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
WE WORK WITH:
International Organisations and NGOs
Development Agencies
Trade Unions
Regional and Local Governments
Private Sector
Universities and Think Tanks

OUR EXPERIENCE
