Effective development doesn’t happen in isolation. It thrives on partnerships—especially with local governments who are closest to the communities served.
In 2025, our work with local government partners has deepened across regions, particularly in supporting data use, planning, and inclusive program implementation. Why is this collaboration so important?
Key benefits of local government partnerships:
- Contextual Expertise: Local actors know their challenges and opportunities best.
- Policy Integration: MEL and program insights inform actual decision-making at local levels.
- Sustainability: Building local capacity means impact lasts beyond project timelines.
- Ownership and Accountability: Co-designed systems lead to greater buy-in and transparency.
Whether through joint MEL framework design, co-hosted learning sessions, or shared dashboards, our partnership approach ensures that development is not just for communities—but with them.
