We understand partnership as a mutual, equal, respectful and committed relationship. We feel strongly that our work must be based on a two-way model of international solidarity, accompaniment and mutual accountability, which allows us and our civil society partners to mutually benefit from the skills, understanding and influence of one another.
In the current environment, support for civil society partners – political, organisational and financial – is very important, and a central aspect of Saferworld’s strategy. To do this, we aim to make a long-term investment and commitment to support the growth of a strong, active and independent civil society that represents the views of people affected by conflict, and advocates for their rights and interests.
Saferworld works in partnership alongside over 80 civil society organisations, groups, networks and community-based organisations across all the countries where we work. We also work in close collaboration with national and international advocacy-focused coalitions, networks and alliances to influence change in policies to ensure they respond to the priorities of those with lived experiences of conflict.
