Travaille Ensemble is on a mission to disrupt international development by shifting the power directly to local African nonprofits. Our name is French, which translates into “Working Together,” and it is our promise to be an enabler of excellence for African nonprofits across Anglophone and Francophone Africa.

Global South nonprofits have a strong understanding of the dynamics of the local context and are the best placed to lead interventions with sustainable outcomes. Donors and other key stakeholders have realized it is time to shift power to where it matters the most. In 2021, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Administrator, Samantha Power, announced the localization policy would shift  25% of the agency’s funding to Global South organizations, up from just 6% then.
