Work With Us

We recognise that NGOs across the Global South operate with varying levels of resources. To ensure accessibility, Global Divide applies a sliding-scale daily fee for representation services at the UN and other policy forums, tailored to each NGO’s budget size. Our mission prioritises supporting grassroots organisations with limited means to engage in international policy spaces.
