Engineers Without Borders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are organizations in several countries that have the name Engineers Without Borders. Each is a non-governmental organization involved in international development work. They are not formally affiliated with each other, although some of them have together created an international network [1] to unite their actions. However these organizations rarely collaborate, as each of them act independently (Ironically creating "borders" between the Engineers Without Borders).[citation needed] As most of their development projects are generally small scale grass-roots partnerships, this reduces the red tape and various bureaucratic overhead costs associated with large organizations.
Some of the organizations are:
- Engineers Without Borders (Australia)
- Ingénieurs Sans Frontières (Belgium)
- Ingenieurs zonder Grenzen (Belgium)
- Engineers Without Borders (Canada)
- Ingeniører uden Grænser (Denmark)
- Ingenieure ohne Grenzen (Germany)
- Engineers Without Borders (India)
- Ingegneria Senza Frontiere (Italy)
- Ingeniería Sin Fronteras (Spain)
- Ingenjörer och Naturvetare utan Gränser (Sweden)
- Engineers Without Borders (UK)
- Engineers Without Borders (USA)
For some additional Engineers Without Borders organizations, see Engineers Without Borders International's "Members" list. It should be noted, however, that these organizations have largely been developed independently, and Engineers Without Borders International functions as a network, rather than exerting authority over members.[citation needed] Some organizations have not joined the network, including EWB Canada and EWB UK .
