Collaboration structure
Five phases to build a solid alliance
- Exploration — 1–2 meetings to understand the partner’s priorities and map of interests.
- Co-definition — Identify 2–3 project lines or pilots with strong fit.
- Joint design — Develop technical proposals, impact, budget and finance frameworks.
- Pilot implementation — Run one or several pilots with shared monitoring and evaluation.
- Scale and outreach — Replicate learnings, expand reach and communicate results to the ecosystem.
