Collaboration ensures programs are inclusive and relevant. Partnering with local leaders, civil society organizations, and government agencies fosters a sense of ownership among beneficiaries.

• Approach: Participatory planning workshops, community feedback sessions, and joint monitoring activities keep initiatives grounded in local realities.
• Importance: Collaboration builds trust and encourages buy-in, which is critical for long-term sustainability. It also facilitates resource-sharing, reducing duplication of efforts.
• Results: Collaborative projects tend to be more culturally appropriate and better received. They also open pathways for scaling up successful initiatives through broader partnerships.
