Who is UBU?
Welcome to UBU, Your Gateway to Sustainable Development!
UBU, short for the Danish acronym Udviklingssamarbejde for Bæredygtig Udvikling (formerly known as Ulandsforeningen for Bæredygtig Udvikling), is a dedicated non-governmental organisation committed to advancing sustainable development. Since its establishment in 1998, UBU has been at the forefront of fostering positive change in South Global countries, with a specific focus on water supply, rural development, and climate change adaptation.
Our mission at UBU is to empower civil societies in developing nations to enhance the quality of life for less fortunate communities. We achieve this by championing technologies that are not only socially and culturally relevant but also environmentally and economically sustainable.
While UBU has a strong history of providing capacity development and technical support to local orgaisations, we are evolving our approach to better serve communities. We are now actively engaged in the development of advocacy strategies, working closely with local government institutions to secure vital support for sustainable initiatives.
Join us on our journey towards a more sustainable and equitable world. Explore the transformative work of UBU and be part of the solution to global challenges. Together, we can create a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
Currently, UBU is working in India and Ecuador.
