Projects at ZENID
 
Each year, ZENID implements around 25 - 30 projects with a range of development partners. ZENID values this operational role, which creates an opportunity to demonstrate the linkages between theory and practice.
ZENID draws on the rich experience gained from projects and field operations to ensure that its training is up-to-date and grounded in the realities of the field, and is tailored to the real needs of the people it serves. The summary below illustrates ZENID's project work.
