Our Donors and Partners
Partnerships are fundamental to ACTS’s work. We partner with a wide range of donor agencies, universities, research organizations, governments and private sector to ensure that breakthroughs in Science Technology and innovation, Agriculture, Energy and Climate Change are adopted and brought to scale throughout the developing world. Without robust and effective partnerships, even the most groundbreaking innovations will fail to reach our stakeholders whose livelihoods our research aims to transform.
