Partnering with other organisations and networks is a great way to explore new ideas, share expertise, and expand each other’s reach.
Choose organisations and networks that you trust and that share your values.
Hold coordination meetings to set common goals and move forward together in the creation and implementation of the campaign.
Make sure that there are clear agreements on the visibility for all organisations involved with their contribution – e.g. display of the right logos, tags or post/event collaborations.
Remember to evaluate the campaign and the overall collaboration at the end, not only for the sake of the campaign itself but also for the consolidation of the partnership and potential future collaborations.
ACTIVITY
Exercise: Think about your organisation, your values, goals, strengths and weaknesses in reaching those goals. Now map organisations that you could potentially contact for collaboration and create a list of organisations to partner with. You could download and use this document for the mapping.
Here a simple example:
Campaign against nuclear weapons
Strengths (I have) | Weaknesses (I have) |
|
|
List of organisations that share my values, or work on that topic or have similar objectives as me:

Opportunities (in partnering with certain organisations) |
Threats (in partnering with certain organisations) |
