Partnership and collaboration are essential

Bridges.org sees partnerships as essential to impact and sustainability in this field. The issues at stake are beyond the scope of any single initiative; if we are going to make a difference to socio-economic development over the long-term civil society organizations, government, and the business community must cooperate to pool resources and experience, and tackle problems collaboratively. We do our best to provide resources that are needed, and we also try to connect the organizations and individuals that are using them, to help everyone avoid duplication and strengthen the work at hand. We collaborate with other organizations in many formal and informal ways by partnering on projects, sharing information on each other's activities, and contributing ideas and feedback when possible. If your organization would be interested in collaborating with bridges.org, please email us at info for more information.
