Who we are
Our vision
A more just and sustainable world where local knowledge shapes decisions that affect people’s lives, and communities thrive through inclusive governance, equitable livelihoods and continuous learning.

Our story
Sazani Associates was founded in 2005 through an FAO:UNESCO flagship programme on Education for Rural People. What began as a voluntary partnership grew from a shared commitment to learning as a driver of sustainable change.
Over the past two decades, Sazani has developed into an international organisation working across education and sustainable development, with a sustained focus on how local knowledge, livelihoods and social dynamics shape governance, risk and resilience over time.
