Partners
Cooperation between 3 partners

The third organisation, Development Alternatives, is one of India’s most important development organisations, based in Delhi and with a 25 years record in community based project development.
The three organisations are complementary:
• Development Alternatives specialises and has considerable experience in community based project development (capacity building, awareness, introduction new technologies) based on commercial principles;
• CSSRI-Karnal stands for 35 years of scientific research on biosaline crops and salt tolerant trees including the development of biosaline agronomic management systems adapted to the needs and possibilities of local communities;
• OASE can contribute know how on the completion of sustainable agricultural value chains, has experience in international project development including composition, financing, and managing. As a result of her being embedded in an international network for sustainable development, OASE can raise the interest of international companies and organisations for the project.
