BTC stands for Belgian Development Agency. In partnership with the governments of the countries where the BTC is operating, the agency contributes to the efforts of the international community to reduce poverty. The BTC works for the Belgian State as well as other development partners. On the agency’s site a number of projects is listed, categorised by country. Topics range from health care and education to gender equality and fair trade. Photography is obviously one way to communicate their projects, which is why BTC was appointed to coordinate governmental commissions for photographic report.
