Working Through Partnership

One of the key features of Trócaire's work is our partnership approach to development. We work with communities to identify their needs and then help them to devise solutions to satisfy those needs.

The beauty of this way of working is that local people drive the whole process. Solutions are not imposed on them. Trócaire works in partnership within networks of development organisations and with local non-government organisations in order to carry out our work as effectively as possible.

During emergencies, Trócaire works within networks of development organisations such as Caritas Internationalis, the international confederation of Catholic development agencies, and CIDSE, the alliance of 15 Catholic development organisations in Europe to maximise the co-ordination of responses in emergency situations.
