About horizont3000
horizont3000 was established in 2001 through the merger of three separate Austrian non-governmental organizations focused on development cooperation. This merger positioned horizont3000 as a prominent actor in Austria’s development cooperation landscape. Governance of horizont3000 is vested in its general assembly and board, comprised of representatives from its Catholic member organizations.
The organization operates primarily from its headquarters in Vienna and maintains regional offices in Nicaragua for Central America and Uganda for East Africa. Additionally, it operates country offices in Senegal and Mozambique. horizont3000 specializes in project and program assistance, coordination, and monitoring, as well as providing technical expertise in low-income countries. Thematically, horizont3000 focuses on three sectors: securing livelihoods, empowering Civil Society, and promoting knowledge sharing. The Regional Office in East Africa is situated in Kampala and oversees projects spanning Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. It will be tasked with managing this consultancy.
