... is an Austrian non-governmental organisation working in sustainable development cooperation. Based in Vienna, with offices in the four focus areas East Africa, Central America, Senegal and Mozambique, we are backed by eleven Austrian Catholic grassroots organisations.
We support partner organisations and locally-led initiatives through co-financing based on grant schemes, medium to long-term advisory services and knowledge management to facilitate learning and sharing processes.
Our projects and programmes are embedded in two main sectors, Human Rights & Civil Society and Sustainable Livelihoods, with a focus on Gender Equality, Climate Action and Policy Dialogue.
We work with communities who have been marginalised in claiming their rights and leading self-determined lives, foremost with smallholder farmers, disadvantaged women, children and youth, women’s and human rights groups as well as indigenous people.
Partnership describes the quality of our relationships. Regardless of the different roles and responsibilities of horizont3000 and its partners, we seek a quality of working together as equals, a connectedness beyond the projects they implement, and their mutual trust and loyalty.
Environment, biodiversity and climate play a key role towards sustainable development and poverty reduction. We are committed to do no harm, to prevent and mitigate undesirable effects on environment and humans, to strengthen capacities in regard to protect and restore ecosystems and to raise overall resilience.
Solidarity is the bonding spirit of mankind: We share values with people around the globe, who strive for an eco-social transformation. We stand up for those, who have to fight for their rights. We support people in need in the believe that they will reciprocate acts of solidarity with others.
Our attitude is not only appreciative towards humans of all origins, backgrounds and orientations. We embrace with curiosity their innovative approaches, surprising opinions, professional expertise, strange attitudes, tough experiences and visionary expectations as a guideline for joint projects.
Our expertise combines topic-related knowhow about the different environments we work in, contemporary methodology, and process management. We apply sixty years of experience by deducing key aspects and efficiently completing complex tasks with comparatively little effort.
Buen vivir for all: We strive for harmonious, collective development.
We implement high-quality programmes and projects in cooperation with partner organisations mainly in countries in Africa and Latin America through our core instruments of co-financing, advisory and knowledge management.
