Themes and Projects
Both ENDS activities are organized around themes and specific projects (or programmes)
clustered into five main themes: Food Sovereignity, International Capital Flows, Sustainable
Landuse, Urban Sustainability, and Water Management. Activities include service and strategic
support to and cooperation with grassroots organisations worldwide, research, lobby and advocacy.
Most programmes stretch over several years and are initiated by Both ENDS itself. Funding is
provided by a variety of private foundations and institutional donors.
