  • Civil society

    NGOs, professional associations, community organisations and advocacy networks.

  • Media and knowledge

    Media organisations, publishers, digital platforms and knowledge-sharing institutions.

Possible collaboration models

Collaboration may take forms such as the following. These are possibilities to discuss, not standing offers.

  • Joint research projects
  • Co-hosted events and conferences
  • Knowledge and publication partnerships
  • Expert exchanges and fellowships
  • Regional and international networks

How a partnership develops

  1. An initial conversation about mutual objectives
  2. A concept note or partnership proposal
  3. Institutional checks where appropriate
  4. Organisational approval
  5. Written terms and responsibilities
  6. Implementation, monitoring and review
