Our partnership principles
Before entering any partnership, we ask:
Does this relationship advance social justice?
Does it align with our values?
Does it provide a meaningful benefit for our members, partners, and communities?
Does it support equitable and ethical ways of working?
We prioritize long-term relationships over transactional engagements and seek partnerships rooted in trust, reciprocity, and shared accountability.
Who we partner with
Our ideal partners are peer consulting groups and initiatives that have experience working with our types of clients, such as civil society organizations, international NGOs, UN agencies, academic and research institutions, and philanthropic institutions.
We are especially interested in partnerships that help us reach, support, and amplify consultants and communities in the Global South and through collaborations that strengthen equitable practice across the sector.
