Country Engagement

How we support local REmove activities

In addition to our overall engagement in Southeast Asia and as part of the REmove action area, our country divisions are implementing a number of exciting, multi-faceted local initiatives. We support and empower them in selecting suitable partners and in project implementation.
We seek to bring transparency, to foster an overarching exchange of ideas and to create synergies. To that end, we've provided tools including a catalog of sample organizations and a rating matrix intended to help in the selection of suitable partners. Possible cooperations range from garbage pick-up campaigns on beaches and in parks to river cleanup projects.
