SNV has been working in Benin since 1970, starting with Dutch volunteers and progressively moving on to development projects.
Since 2003, SNV has devoted itself to capacity reinforcement for local governance and to the achieving of impact for poverty reduction.

SNV Benin supports the process of change by strengthening the capacity of local organisations, consulting, skills transfer, development of value chains. A particular emphasis is placed on domestic accountability, through a pilot initiative.
