BESO is a development agency that offers professional expertise to organisations in less developed communities worldwide.
Experienced volunteers are available for short assignments ranging from two weeks to six months.
No fee is charged for their advice. The breadth of experience at its disposal, as well as its flexibility, have given it a unique capability to respond to the particular needs of individual countries. Its goal is to leave the organisation in a position to run its own affairs once the volunteer has left. BESO does not provide funding, grants or cash loans. In the past 6 years 300 BESO volunteers have worked in 53 cities and towns in Ukraine.
