Support changemakers and shape global leadership.

We're always on the lookout for new collaborations!

From the outset, CECI has favoured a partnership approach to its projects. To maximize the impact of our actions, we work closely with partner organizations that share our vision and values. These partnerships are not simply collaborations, but synergies aimed at generating a positive overall impact for the communities we seek to support.

We meticulously choose our partners based on their proven ability to deliver significant and sustainable impact, aligning closely with CECI's capacities. Clear and measurable results are set from the start, with performance indicators guiding our assessment. Our detailed process ensures that objectives are achieved, fostering a positive impact for both CECI and our partners. We attach great importance to the quality of our projects, conducting thorough risk assessments for collaboration and partner organization operations. This proactive stance minimizes potential risks for the communities we work with and ensures the long-term success of our initiatives.

Mutual Collaboration

Dialogue is the key to our relationships with our partners. We foster open and transparent relationships, encouraging the exchange of ideas and experience. In addition, we find it essential to clearly establish the roles and responsibilities of each party, while establishing a governance framework for the relationship, thus fostering ongoing dialogue and rigorous monitoring of the partnership. Maintaining a constant and constructive dialogue on social responsibility issues with all stakeholders is necessary to guarantee the effectiveness and sustainability of our projects.
