NGO & IGO Partners
Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and Interngovernmental Organizations (IGOs) are essential allies for HOT’s mission. Through our collaborative work, we ensure that local insights are integrated with global strategies, leading to more informed decision-making and accelerated impact.
HOT is positioned to provide open mapping services that truly center the community and are participatory in nature. These organizations are playing pivotal roles in the humanitarian sector, providing essential aid and services to communities in need around the globe and in HOT’S priority regions. By joining forces, we amplify our reach and deepen our impact, creating a more connected and resilient world.
