Partnerships play a role in our everyday lives.
Partnership Bureau began through the experiences we have had at the intersection of innovation and international development.
Having been able to work closely with international donor agencies, government ministries and departments, private foundations, international NGOs and community-based organisations, tech startups and many more...we have seen the disconnect between all these actors.
This disconnect is the difficulty for actors to see or understand each others' perspectives.
This is why the Partnership Bureau exists to understand what people, communities and partners are experiencing and how to best work with them to deliver existing change
