Building a Global Toolset for Transparent International Development
At
Border Sessions, Jeroen van der Sommen will speak about building a
global toolset for transparent international development. Jeroen ignited
the Akvo phenomenon after meeting Thomas Bjelkeman at Stockholm World
Water Week in summer 2006 and has steered Akvo’s evolution to ensure it
is relevant to, and supported by, a wide range of implementation NGOs,
funding partners and global institutions.
