| | Meike van Ginneken announced as new SNV CEO, starting 1 January 2018. "It is the perfect moment to have a new Chief Executive Officer at a time when SNV has reinvented itself.” says SNV Supervisory Board Chairman Koos Richelle. During a period of transition in which the subsidy from the Dutch government gradually ended, the organisation successfully applied for project funding. In 2016 SNV had an annual turn-over of €112 million from 75 international governmental and private donors. Koos Richelle says, “In 2016 we reduced poverty for over 6 million people. Our continued growth will enable us to further scale our work in Agriculture, Energy, Water and Sanitation.” Learn more about this announcement on the SNV website.
