The VVOB is the Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance, a non-profit organisation. Commissioned by the Flemish and the Belgian governments, we contribute to the quality of education in developing countries. Our core business is to provide technical assistance in educational projects and programmes. This way VVOB supports local capacity building as a means to stimulate sustainable development and poverty reduction.

  

A Bridge between hemispheres

Due to our operations in the South and our establishment in Flanders we are in a unique position to form a bridge between both parts of the world. For example, we offer internships in our programmes in the South. Schools in Flanders and schools in the South can find each other by means of the VVOB programme Scholenbanden (more or less translated as School Links).
