Uniting forces
ZOA strives for co-operation and consultation with likeminded organisations, both in the Netherlands and abroad. Co-operation enhances the quality of aid, and the effective and efficient dedication of people and use of money. We co-operate with likeminded organisations in the execution of projects and in emergency relief, fundraising and sharing knowledge.

Co-operation in programme areas:
•    In the field ZOA maintains contacts with local partnerorganisations on all levels (committees within communities, CBOs, local and district governments and institutions, NGOs and national governments and institutions). ZOA strives for co-operation with these organisations, whenever possible.
•    ZOA regularly executes projects in co-operation with UN-bodies such as FAO, UNHCR and World Food Programme.
•    ZOA is a member of the Dutch Consortium Uruzgan (DCU). In this consortium, ZOA partners with Save the Children NL, Cordaid, Healthnet TPO and DCA-vet in activities in Uruzgan, Afghanistan.
•    Together with Tearfund UK and Tear Netherlands, ZOA executes projects in Congo; and with Tearfund Belgium in another project in Congo.
