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.

 

Key milestones

Our team 

Sazani Associates has brought together diverse teams of experts in social performance,  sustainability, blue economy  and education, all bringing decades of international experience and a deep understanding of global standards, frameworks and good practice.
