05 — Partnership pathway

For NGOs & Civil Society Organisations

For organisations already working in education and community development who need frameworks, curriculum and measurement rather than another delivery partner.

Collaborate with IPEC

The case

Civil society organisations frequently have what IPEC does not: field presence, community trust and years of accumulated practical knowledge about what actually happens in a village or a ward.

IPEC has what is often hardest for a field organisation to build: implementation frameworks, curriculum architecture, measurement systems and a knowledge infrastructure for capturing what the field learns.

The collaboration model is therefore complementary rather than competitive. IPEC does not seek to replace anyone's field programme.

02 — What IPEC can do

What a partnership with NGOs & Civil Society actually involves.

  • 01

    Adopt IPEC programmes

    Use IPEC curricula and frameworks in your existing field programmes, without licence cost and with attribution both ways.

  • 02

    Co-create curriculum

    Bring field knowledge into curriculum development so that materials survive contact with real classrooms.

  • 03

    Build Excellence Cells

    Establish Excellence Cells in the institutions and communities where you already work.

  • 04

    Access knowledge resources

    Frameworks, toolkits, teacher materials and case studies through the Knowledge Hub.

  • 05

    Joint research

    Collaborative studies that give your programme evidence and IPEC field data.

  • 06

    Ambassador participation

    Your field staff and community volunteers joining the ambassador network across six domains.

  • 07

    Joint government and CSR proposals

    Combining your field capability with IPEC's frameworks and measurement in bids that neither could make alone.

  • 08

    Capacity building for your team

    Process excellence, knowledge management and measurement training for programme staff.
