DevWorks International: Tangible Solutions for the Future
We envision a world in which people have the means, ability, and freedom to shape their own destinies.
Our mission is to support people around the world to pursue opportunities for equitable social and economic growth to create stronger, more resilient communities.
DEI: Because It’s The Right Thing to Do
We are committed to creating an inclusive space for all of our employees and extending this culture of inclusion into our work globally.
We believe that all aspects of our work should reflect the vast diversity of the communities we serve, and that diverse voices should be elevated and intentionally integrated into our work. We embrace differences and diversity of identity, experience, and thought, and actively strive for inclusive behaviors across our organization and our work.
We know that there is still work to be done, and we are ready to roll up our sleeves and help build a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive tomorrow.
Our Values
We recognize that doing good development work requires flexibility, adaptiveness, and creative problem solving. We are nimble and proactive in responding to changing conditions on the ground.
We set high standards for our work and meet them. We provide contextual technical expertise tailored to the needs of the communities we work with. We learn and adapt from our mistakes, and constantly strive to improve ourselves.
We are committed to the highest standards of ethics in our business practices, our project management, and in our treatment of staff, partners and beneficiaries.
We work with and through local partners, building their knowledge, skills and assets to ensure they can deliver long-term benefits to the lives of people in their communities
DevWorks International, previously known as SNV USA, was founded in 2011. DevWorks brings together a core team of solutions-oriented development professionals with expertise and experience across technical areas and geographies. Our approach is grounded in private sector engagement and improved service delivery, while building local capacity through ongoing partnerships and relationships. We deliver market-based solutions across five areas: agriculture, water, sanitation and hygiene, youth, governance, and natural resource management.
