DevelopmentAid and SWIOTUNA Announce Strategic Partnership
DevelopmentAid and the South West Indian Ocean Tuna Forum (SWIOTUNA) are pleased to announce the launch of a strategic partnership aimed at empowering civil society organizations, fisheries stakeholders, and coastal communities across the South West Indian Ocean region to better access international development and funding opportunities.
Through this collaboration, SWIOTUNA members will gain privileged access to the DevelopmentAid platform: https://www.developmentaid.org

DevelopmentAid is a leading information and networking platform for organizations and professionals active in the international development sector. It provides comprehensive access to tenders, grants, project intelligence, expert databases, and partnership opportunities from major development banks, donors, and institutions worldwide.

In addition, SWIOTUNA members will benefit from exclusive discounted access to TenderWell: https://tenderwell.com
A powerful global procurement intelligence tool that enables organizations to track government tenders and procurement notices across nearly 200 countries, supporting more informed and timely decision-making.

Empowering SWIOTUNA Members
This partnership is designed to strengthen the capacity and global engagement of SWIOTUNA members by enabling them to:
1. Identify and pursue relevant international grants, tenders, and funding opportunities in fisheries, marine conservation, and blue economy sectors
2. Access high-quality market intelligence and procurement insights
3. Build strategic partnerships with international organizations, donors, and development actors
4. Enhance participation in regional and global initiatives related to sustainable fisheries and ocean governance

By combining SWIOTUNA’s strong regional network and advocacy role in sustainable fisheries with DevelopmentAid’s global development intelligence and TenderWell’s procurement tracking capabilities, this partnership creates a powerful ecosystem for collaboration, capacity building, and impact.
Together, the partners aim to unlock new opportunities for organizations in the South West Indian Ocean region to actively contribute to and benefit from international development initiatives, while promoting sustainable management of marine resources and inclusive blue economy growth.
