Descripción

The Devex Partnerships team is an integral part of the Devex news function.

Through content sponsored by or created with input from our partners — leading NGOs, foundations, corporations, aid agencies and more — we help our audience better understand and advance key development issues.

We do this through our events, content series, visual stories, surveys, and much more.
