Our Network
World Connect's global network has developed through trust-based community development investment. Our power centers are locally-led development hubs staffed by regional experts who manage grantmaking operations and exemplify local ownership in development.
Our Network
Overview
World Connect has access to a global network of 5,000 community organisations and leaders across 42 countries. Our established and emerging power centers allow us to support sustained growth and leverage local resources, building a connected global community.
Our Network
