Organizations, Who can help?

Which organizations can we call on for assistance, both technical and financial?

Organizations are grouped into 3 categories according to their contribution to programs and projects: as providers of technical assistance (for example: VITA); as providers of both technical assistance and funds (for example: GTZ) or as providers of only funding (Ford).
