Partnership working

TREE AID works with a range of partners to deliver our programme including community based organisations (CBOs), local, national and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), government agencies and international organisations such as the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

Our operational approach is based on partnership working. The partner organisations we work with are trusted, local groups staffed by local people with specialised expertise and an unrivalled understanding of local networks and issues.

Partnership working brings many benefits to our work:

Efficiency -

To avoid duplicating work, matching indigenous expertise with external resources

Ownership & participation -

Sharing power and decision making with local people

Legitimacy -

Establishing a local mandate for TREE AID

Sustainability -

Strengthening the capacity of local organisations to continue the work after funding ceases or formal partnership agreements end.
