Partnerships as a
Key Enabler
We believe that partnerships are a key enabler for meeting global challenges and generating sustainable change and long-lasting impact in communities. No organisation can do it alone and we don't try to.
WDF works with a wide range of developmental and strategic partners across all fields of competence. We value and recognise every possible working relationship as we continue empowering underserved communities for sustainable development.
Three Pillars of Strategic Partnership
WDF partners with a broad ecosystem of actors from community groups and government to the private sector and international agencies. Here's how we categorise our partnerships:
Grassroot Communities
We believe in the power of grassroot communities to take the lead in addressing their own challenges and responding to shocks through innovations, collaborations and community-driven resourcing.
Local & National Actors
We work with visionary donors, academia, NGOs, INGOs, CSOs, MDAs, religious institutions and local & international governments starting at household level and scaling up to deliver life-changing, community-driven initiatives.
Private Sector & Media
We work with like-minded private sector and media actors to inspire innovation, collaboration, partnership strengthening and resource mobilisation all directed toward community-led initiatives for sustainable development.
