About Practical Action

Practical Action is an International Development Organization putting ingenious ideas to work so people in poverty can change their world. We help people find solutions to some of the world's toughest problems, challenges made worse by catastrophic climate change and persistent gender inequality.

We work with communities to develop ingenious, lasting and locally owned solutions for agriculture, water and waste management, climate resilience and clean energy. We share what works with others, so answers that start small can grow big.

We are a global change-making group consisting of a UK registered charity with community projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America, an independent development publishing company and a technical consulting service. We combine these specialisms to multiply our impact and help shape a world that works better for everyone.

Our Aims

• Make agriculture work better for smallholder farmers, many of them women, so they can adapt to climate change and achieve a good standard of living
• Help more people harness the transformational effects of clean affordable energy and reduce avoidable deaths caused by smoke from indoor stoves and fires
• Make cities in poorer countries cleaner, healthier places to live and work
• Build disaster resilience into the lives of people threatened by hazards, reducing the risk of hazards and minimizing their impact on lives and livelihoods

Practical Action Rwanda

In Rwanda, we are recognized leaders in clean cooking and sustainable energy solutions. This includes groundbreaking work in solar, wind and water powered electricity generation, often delivered through independent mini grids. We bring together rural communities, people in refugee camps, energy providers and decision makers.
