With the threats to human well-being in the 21st century growing increasingly complex and interrelated, the mission of Counterpart International (Counterpart) has never been more important or relevant.

Counterpart's revised mission reflects our longstanding commitment to building the capacity of individuals and communities to control their own future. Counterpart is proud of its past innovations in community-based development and aspires to build on them through an holistic and integrated approach to development that ensures solutions to the world's most complex challenges.

Counterpart's programs span the relief-to-development continuum from humanitarian relief and aid to food security and economic development, health, natural resource management and democracy and governance strengthening.
