Institutional Collaboration

MS Danish Association For International Cooperation
MS is a non- profit NGO. Its vision is a world in peace, where cooperation between people promotes global justice and improved livelihood for the poor and marginalised. MS works for popular participation and and democratisation in the North and in the South. In the South, MS collaborates closely with partner organisations to encourage intercultural cooperation and challenge the causes of poverty. MS has offices in Denmark, Nepal, Central America and in six African countries. MS Training Centre, MS-TCDC, plays a key role in MS by addressing the capacity building needs of country programmes and partner organisations. MS-TCDC also hosts MS meetings where different stakeholders from the organisation share experiences and discuss to develop policies.

The Policy Advisory Board
MS-TCDC is getting strategic support from its Policy Advisory Board (PAB), which meets three times a year. Currently, these are some of the organisations represented in the PAB:Tanzania Media Women's Association (TAMWA), Development Network of Indigenous Voluntary Associations (DENIVA, Uganda), MS-Kenya, In-Service Training Trust (Zambia) and Tanzania AIDS Council, TACAIDS.
