We work in partnership: with government, development partners, communities and researchers.
01
Federal ministries, departments and agencies, state governments and local government areas.
Our programmes support national, state and local development priorities, not parallel ones.
We work inside public services to build skills, data and processes that stay after a programme ends.
We share evidence from the field with decision-makers in forms they can use.
02
Bilateral and multilateral agencies, foundations and international NGOs.
We shape programmes with funders from the start, around community priorities and a clear theory of change.
Transparent budgets, safeguarding and honest reporting on results, including what did not work.
We test approaches and take forward the ones the evidence supports.
03
Community-based organisations, cooperatives, traditional and faith institutions.
Communities define the problems we work on and take part in designing the response.
We strengthen community organisations, cooperatives and traditional and faith institutions to lead.
Communities hold us to account through regular feedback on our work and results.
04
Universities, research institutes and think tanks.
We build research questions into programmes so practice generates evidence.
We work with researchers on baselines, evaluations and learning agendas.
We publish findings and share data so others can learn from them.
We agree outcomes together and plan around the communities we serve.
Open budgets, regular reporting and early warning when things change.
Every partnership has a learning agenda, and we share what we find.
We recognise every partner’s contribution in our reporting and communications.
We take part in sector networks, coalitions and communities of practice in Nigeria, West Africa and internationally.
We welcome partnerships that share our commitment to evidence, inclusion and local ownership.
