What we achieve with foundations
Project services for foundations
Foundations are increasingly becoming important partners in the struggle against poverty, exploitation, and environmental destruction in the countries of the Global South. For this reason, we’ve been collaborating with Crossing Border and Medicor Foundation Liechtenstein for many years. Use our Project Map (in German) to see the Projects.
We work with medium-term country strategies and concentrate our efforts on three Sectors: Rural Development – Natural Resource Management, Civil Society and Human Rights, Education. All of our projects are evaluated according to their relevance to the Cross-Cutting Issues environment, gender, and HIV/AIDS. We also put great emphasis on Preventing Climate Change.
Our services to foundations:
- Professional assessment and project placement
- Support to foundation-relevant projects by providing qualified technical advisors
- Rigid success and financial monitoring
- Project documentation, donor management, attendance to project visits
Training
Seminars and workshops
In times of globalisation, there is a growing pressure to remain competent, especially on people who work in development cooperation, who need to be able to meet ever more and increasingly important requirements.
Our seminar programme offers comprehensive information on the multifaceted topics of development cooperation. Tailored to the needs of technical advisors that are going to be sent abroad, both national and international develop cooperation professionals attend our seminars and workshops. In these courses, we convey practically relevant competencies and knowledge that will allow the students to rise to the current challenges and those further down the road.
The seminar facilitators all have practical experience in the field of development cooperation and make the training offered by HORIZONT3000 a unique offer on the market.
Thank you for your interest in our workshops and seminars and have fun exploring our broad range of courses (in German). If you have any questions or comments, please send us an e-mail to training@horizont3000.at

Your staff on the field
Technical assistance service for your Organisation
Organisations that do not have a technical assistance programme of their own can come to us to carry out technical assistance projects that are subsidised by the ADA up to 70 %. The service usually includes selecting, preparing, and supporting the professionals deployed.
All missions are carried out in coordination with ADA, increasing the synergy between all stakeholders, and the cost efficiency of the technical assistance programme. Also, the expertise HORIZONT3000 has to offer is used in the best possible way. For current examples, please see our Project Map (in German). Please do not hesitate to make an appointment; we are happy to advise you in Person.
