OUR MISSION... STRONG PARTNERSHIPS,

STRONG COMMUNITIES

INTERLACING COMMUNITIES, PARTNERS AND In September 2012, Counterpart revised its mission statement to
focus unerringly on our purpose. Our new mission statement reads: We
FRIENDS TO FORM A GLOBAL FABRIC. partner with local organizations – formal and informal – to build inclusive,

challenges and weave a fabric strong enough to achieve lasting results. Around the world, we are currently partnering with 2,600 local
organizations of all types that have a similar vision of strong, vibrant
communities. By working with Counterpart, these organizations can
independently deliver – and expand – the value they bring to their
communities.
How has Counterpart created its robust track record in organizational
capacity building? The trick is to begin – and then take – every step of the
journey with our local partners rather than ahead of our partners. This frame
matters. We don’t solve a local organization’s problems. Instead, we build
local leaders and organizations who solve their own problems, with our
temporary assistance.
Some of our greatest satisfaction comes when our local partners turn
their focus to a challenge well outside the scope of their partnership with

our programs end, we hear stories that inevitably start with “We used the
approach we learned from you to solve…”
This report tells six stories of how we are strengthening local
organizations for this leadership role today – in six of our twenty-three
countries of operation.
First, you will read of stronger women’s cooperatives in Guatemala,
which have transformed the economic opportunities for women in an
entire region. Next you will journey to Senegal to meet local non-profits
who are building the Koranic school infrastructure. Your next stop will be
in a remote village in Mauritania that faces ever-worsening drought, where
you will find a creative village-level response that is taking hold across the
country. In Yemen, you will see the power of legislation to strengthen local
citizen organizations. Your final stops with communities in Armenia and the
Dominican Republic will round out your journey.
We at Counterpart are fortunate to be at the center of a global movement
to build the capacity of local organizations so that they can effectively lead
their own development process. Thanks to support from our U.S. government,
foundation and individual supporters, we are making a lasting difference in the
lives touched by our 2,600 local partners, today and in the future.

COUNTERPART AT A GLANCE OUR STRATEGIC POSITION

Counterpart International is a global development organization
with program revenues of $56 million in fiscal year 2012 and roughly
600 employees. We currently have 32 active projects in 23 countries.
Our primary clients are the 2,600 local organizations we partner with
worldwide, supported largely by funding from the U.S. government.
In 2012 alone, Counterpart’s network touched the lives of more than
3.3 million beneficiaries around the world.
For nearly 50 years, Counterpart’s mission has focused on working with
effective and emerging local organizations that already deliver important
services to their communities to help them grow their capabilities in ways
that significantly expand their program reach, impact and sustainability.
Over the last 15 years, Counterpart has served 10,000 local
organizations, earning a reputation as an industry leader in the area
of organizational development. We continue to refine and improve our
methodology with intention, based on learning from our field work and

GUATEMALA:
FOR RURAL ARTISANS
There wasn’t always a multi-million dollar industry revolving around rural women in Guatemala.
In fact, highland families were living in poverty, eking out livelihoods as farmers and selling
traditional crafts. Every quetzal earned was used to take a sick child to the doctor or send them
to school.
Life has changed in these remote villages, thanks to Counterpart’s Community Tourism
Alliance program.
The program, with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development, strengthened
workshops that showed them how to create specialized products for international markets.
Instead of selling handcrafts with limited appeal along the dusty roads of Guatemala, these
female artisans are now integrated into a national and international value chain – and their work
is now showcased at major trade shows in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Last year
alone, women in the program sold nearly $1 million in handcrafts at the New World Crafts Trade
Fair in New York.
Their businesses, and their lives, have been transformed.
Artisans are now able to invest in clean water and electricity for their homes, in addition to
education and healthcare for their families.
The organizations strengthened by the project will continue to serve as models for promoting
traditional culture while generating lucrative business results.

in the Sahel would leave them even more vulnerable to both. It decided to take action before it
was too late.
Debaye Teydouma’s Village Development Committee, established with Counterpart’s help
three years earlier, had already bolstered the community’s resilience and food security. It built a
communal warehouse, and installed a grain-grinding mill to generate income.
Facing the 2012 drought, the Committee decided to use part of the community savings from

the grain mill to buy subsidized cereals from the Mauritanian government.
It purchased four metric tons of cereal and made it available to all households during the
drought. Each could reimburse the grain at its own pace.
Through the Committee’s actions, Debaye Teydouma’s malnutrition rate was kept below 7
percent – one of the lowest in the region.
The community, with its strong village development committee, is now reconstituting its seed
capital and developing new income-generating activities to prepare for future shocks.
Counterpart’s Community Action, Nutrition and Livelihoods project, with support from the
U.S. Agency for International Development, works with160 communities to develop village
committees like Debaye Teydouma’s, build resilience and create demand-driven development.

ARMENIA:
Building the capacity of inter-community
organizations
With limited budgets and sparse populations, smaller communities in Armenia often rely on
inter-community organizations (ICOs) to provide services like trash collection and property tax
processing. But these organizations were not always strong enough to efficiently meet demand.
Residents had to queue for hours at far-off offices to pay taxes, and had no way of evaluating if
their charges were fair.
Support from Counterpart, with funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development,
allowed an ICO that serves 31 communities near the city of Sisian to create an inter-community

budgets, strategic development plans and other city documents that keep residents informed
and engaged in their community.
By giving municipalities access to a transparent online database, the Sisian ICO allowed
residents to pay their taxes without leaving their village, saving them time and building their
trust in local government.
The innovative new system led to a noticeable increase in tax payments, and local and
national government offices finally have the capacity to track and manage the process.
The Sisian ICO is now sharing best practices with two new ICOs that Counterpart helped
establish, and Armenia’s Deputy Prime Minister suggested replicating the model across
Armenia’s 915 municipalities.

The staff of Dominican NGO AgroFrontera knew the importance of creative incentives for

near Montecristi National Park to use environmentally sustainable methods that also
increased their incomes.
What they didn’t know was that a significant economic incentive for protecting the park
had been under their feet the whole time.

brought renowned ecologist Dr. Boone Kauffman to the mangroves of Montecristi to test
the espresso-colored soil under the tremendous roots, and train AgroFrontera to do the
