Who we are

MetaMeta is a social enterprise that operates through three specialized companies in the Netherlands: MetaMeta Research, MetaMeta Management, and MetaMeta Communications.

MetaMeta has registered country offices in Ethiopia, Kenya, Turkey, and Nepal.

The Water Channel, The SMART Centre Group, the Flood Based Livelihood Network and the Green Roads for Water Alliance are supported by us.

Through stakeholder mobilization, practical research, program development, implementation support, training, guideline and policy development, MetaMeta promotes better land and water management. MetaMeta has adopted eight themes – water management, landscape rehabilitation, green roads for water, flood-based livelihoods, regenerative agriculture, groundwater management, urban water resilience and smart centres. In all these themes the aim is to bring practical improvement at scale.

MetaMeta is a recent two times winner of environmental awards.

MetaMeta organizes meetings, webinar, master classes, to explore new developments in land and water management.

We are in the process of establishing MetaMeta-owned companies with the purpose of taking activities incubated in our group further forward.

We invite you to be in touch with our dedicated team of more than 35 practitioners-experts or to contact us at info@metameta.nl. A lot has happened since we started in 2004 but so much more is to happen still.
