SNV, they believe that no one should live in poverty. Driven by the Sustainable Development Goals, SNV dedicate their work to a society in which every individual is free to pursue his/her own sustainable development.
Their work focuses on increasing people’s incomes and access to basic services in agriculture, energy, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). Their projects directly benefit millions of people (4.4M in 2018) and drive systems change by strengthening institutions and kick-starting markets. By connecting their global expertise with longstanding in-country presence, they help realise locally-owned solutions. And they do so in more than 25 countries worldwide.
SNV Netherlands Development Organisation is a not-for-profit international development organisation that makes a lasting difference in the lives of people living in poverty by helping them raise incomes and access basic services. With a long-term, local presence in over 25 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, they know how governments work, which written and unwritten rules exist, and how relationships are built. The backbone of SNV team is more than 1,300 staff.
Local presence and know-how
With their extensive on-the-ground track record, they can adjust approaches when circumstances change on the ground. SNV staff are regarded as honest brokers. They know that the main predictor for a successful solution in a given country or context is the enthusiasm with which their staff and partners embrace it. Only by listening can we adapt our global expertise to each specific setting is the eye behind operations. They constantly renew with innovative global knowledge and lessons learned from practice. This adds to their value proposition and distinguishes them from local service providers.
Expertise in three sectors
SNV aim for premium quality. This is the reason why they have made a deliberate choice to focus on just three sectors:
✅agriculture
✅energy
✅WASH.
They work in selected countries where they build long-term partnerships and speak the language – literally and figuratively. In all they do, they aim to make a difference by implementing projects that create direct results and bring about systems change.
Operational excellence
SNV extensively collaborate with partners that complement and re-energise their operations such as knowledge institutions, private consultancy firms and non-governmental organisations. They invest in market-based approaches and work extensively with the private sector. They are a trusted partner of local and national governments. SNV is proud to be a not-for-profit organisation, implementing their mission exclusively through project financing. This requires them to work efficiently and invest in operational excellence every day.
For the strategic period 2019-2022, SNV will contribute to sustainable change in WASH delivery systems in at least 19 countries. Ultimately, they envision a world that enables all people’s access to affordable and reliable WASH services – leaving no one behind.
In households, schools, and health facilities, their programmes are designed to build professional, organisational, and inter-institutional capacities to deliver environmentally and financially sustainable rural and urban WASH services. Through programme implementation, joined-up thinking, and research – conducted with partners in government, private sector and civil society.
SNV contributions:
• provide evidence to integrate sanitation information in wider district-, provincial and city planning;
• assist public authorities to better target investments and oversee the efficient operationalisation of services;
• create the conditions and capacities for private sector engagement in WASH; and
• instill long-lasting sanitation and hygiene behaviours amongst consumers and professions in the frontline of WASH services delivery.
SANITATION FOR ALL CITIZENS
In the strategic period 2019–2022, SNV aims to contribute to sustainable change in WASH service delivery systems in at least 19 countries by building professional, organisational and inter-institutional capacity to deliver environmentally and financially sustainable rural and urban WASH services – for households, schools and health facilities. They encourage change and innovation from within. An example of this is the integration of housing, tax and sanitation information, and district- and provincial-wide planning for WASH.
SNV also helps public authorities target investments effectively and operate services efficiently, and we will improve the accountability of service providers and regulators. This work will be founded on evidence-based research that they conduct jointly with government, the private sector and civil society.
Their programmes will create the conditions and capacities for private-sector engagement in WASH and, where appropriate, will strengthen their ability to deliver long-lasting WASH services that are accessible, affordable and reliable.
SNV also build capacities for long-term behaviour change in hygiene, occupational health and safety, and compliance with safety standards. Furthermore, they strengthen the capacity of civil society in advocating for WASH services, and encourage collaboration between stakeholders and public authorities.
Targets for WASH 2019–2022
• 2 million people with improved access to sanitation
• 2 million people with access to drinking water
• 1 million people practising hand washing with soap
Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for Health and Development (SSH4A)
SNV works together with local authorities to develop area-wide sanitation service delivery models for their jurisdictions with the aim to create and/or change WASH systems by using a hands-on approach, working collaboratively towards improved sanitation and hygiene, and continuously reflecting and learning. The approach creates demand for sanitation services, develops sanitation supply chains in rural areas, builds capacity for behaviour change and strengthens WASH governance systems. Over the past five years this integrated approach has proven successful in more than 160 districts in 18 countries. Their operations place users at the centre of our efforts: households,schools, health facilities and public places. Understanding users, and their diversity of needs, is essential for sustainable sanitation.
Urban Sanitation and Hygiene for Health and Development (USHHD)
In urban areas SNV works on city-wide inclusive sanitation services for all. In partnership with city authorities and utilities, they aim to change the way in which human waste is managed. SNV address the needs of diverse populations, encompass all parts of the sanitation service chain and recognise that different geographical areas will require different service delivery models.
models. They guide stakeholders through a process of informed choice regarding technologies, finance strategies, regulation and service delivery models that discusses trade-offs, in particular regarding low-income groups and slum residents. Working with the private sector, they develop financially viable, sustainable business models for the treatment, re-use and safe disposal of human waste, and we work with communities on service models that are safe and affordable.
Area-wide Rural Water Supply Services (ARWSS)
We pursue an integrated rural water supply approach that looks at the sustainability of services across districts, and responds to changing communities. We endorse performance standards for water operators, irrespective of whether they are private, public or community run. Our work contributes to solving service issues relating to water, including the continuity of water services, equal access to water points, water quality, sustainability of services and resilience to extreme events (climatic and social).
SNV works with local stakeholders to develop appropriate management models and post-construction support for districts that are embedded in local WASH governance structures and supported by evidence-based behavioural change campaigns.
Opportunities for Youth Employment (OYE)
In this strategy period SNV scaled up their work on creating job opportunities for young people across agriculture, energy and WASH.
Their opportunity for youth employment (OYE) approach includes creating employment opportunities (pull), basic skills training (push), and market placement and enterprise development (match). They also help young people to find jobs by getting our network of companies in agriculture, energy and WASH interested in offering vocational training and on-the-job learning, and offering concrete employment opportunities.
They also offer help to young people to fulfill their entrepreneurial aspirations by developing their skills and knowledge through training, facilitating access to money to set themselves up, and by coaching them in leadership and business skills.

This was a super fun project to work on. This logo is for a brand new co-workspace near downtown Portland, Oregon right on the Willamette River. It's being built inside an old auto shop, thus the hot rod theme for the logo/brand. It will be opening around the first of the year and it's going to be a truly one of a kind space with tons of cool stuff included and to do inside/out—in addition to working :)

I haven't driven one of these for some years, was given it as a shuttle back to Roskill after a breakdown.
Drives a bit like a rocket, fast yet getting on in age and well past its use by date! I was happy to have got the chance to photograph one of these.
Still it looks rather tidy after all these years!

One of the great things about the Revs Institute is their cars are driven. And when dirty from racing, they leave them that way. It gives an authenticity you just don't get from a cleaned and polished racecar.
DIego has had one goal in mind this year and that was to compete well at the Certamen held in Villena.
Endless hours of preparation and constant rehearsals brought the band to its peak of performance. We honestly could not have asked for more of them.
The result: Bigastro were awarded 323.5 points and a first prize but were pipped to the post by the band from Agost who got 324 points. It doesn't get closer than that.

Cricket
Driven in A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)
Designer: Tim Flattery and Alessandro Zezza
Builder: Trans FX
Based on: n/a
In a future where resources are scarce, mechas (robots) are manufactured to serve the needs of humans and prevent overpopulation. Though mechas grow more intelligent and human-like as technology advances, humans continue to treat them as subhuman and disposable objects. The Cricket highlights that psychological and physical dividing line when it removes child mecha David (Haley Joel Osment) from his picture-perfect human family in the suburbs and delivers him to the dark woods where mechas are taken when no longer wanted.
Based on the short story Supertoys Last All Summer Long, the film adaptation was originally developed by Stanley Kubrick but passed on to Steven Spielberg when Kubrick died. Like the short story, the film raises questions about the fate of humanity and what it means to be human in a world full of intelligent machines, including vehicles. In the film, keeping mechas “in their place” reveals man’s own insecurity and fear that one day technology will become all-powerful.
Following a good Saturday morning perusing the Stoddard L.A. Porsche Literature and Toy Meet, we hit the buses again for the day's first stop at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A.
Before our vault tour in the basement (no photos allowed), I had 30 minutes to visit all three above-ground levels of the museum. If these pics look a little rushed, they were. I clicked about 130 shots.
When I visted Petersen in 2018 with Kristina, we spent about an hour on each floor. But the exhibits were much stronger then - three major ones - Porsche, Ferrari, and vintage motorcycles and scooters. All were awesome.
