Global Partners

MESA’s Global Partners are sister NGOs and universities around the world that, like MESA, are actively promoting sustainable agriculture in their own region. They also share a desire for exchange and knowledge transfer between agricultural communities worldwide. This network of sister programs is the starting point for the international Stewards who come to the US through the MESA program.

By participating in the MESA program, Global Partners bring additional training opportunities to their constituent communities and diversify the programmatic offerings they offer. They act as MESA representatives in their countries and recruit and interview applicants who would like to come to the US as MESA Stewards. They also support MESA Stewards prior to and after their US program.
