ON OUR OWN BEHALF
Dear Reader,
Rural 21 has been a vital platform for sharing knowledge, fostering dialogue, networking and driving solutions for rural development world-wide for nearly 60 years. This has only been possible thanks to your engagement and the generous support of our partners, for which we are deeply grateful.
However, due to significant financial cuts in development cooperation, one of our key partners is withdrawing its funding. Without new funding, we will be forced to shut down our website on June 30th, 2025. This is why we are appealing to you today.
We believe in the power of knowledge to drive change, empower communities and fight global poverty through collective action. If you do, too, and want to back us in this endeavour, make an impact – become a partner of Rural 21! As a partner, you are able to take advantage of our global network to reach out to a committed audience eager to keep in touch with the latest issues. You can take part in developing the focal items on our platform and thus have a say in the international dialogue on rural development.
If you believe in what we do and want to support us, please don't hesitate to contact us and discuss further details – we’d love to hear from you.
Together for Rural Development!
Your Rural 21 team
Ines Lechner, Olive Bexten, Silvia Richter and Angelika Wilcke
