North-South Partnerships
Since Transform Africa supports and develops communities all over Africa it is essential to maintain a strong and balanced relationship between the donors, the NGO's and the local organisations. It has been realised in the past that often our development intiitatives are not as successful as we might have hoped due to the low quality of relationships between these sectors of the aid chain. This is often because one sector feels disempowered, or because projects may be more successful in some areas of Africa than others. Transform Africa has put a lot of work into developing the quality of development partnerships in Africa, it engages in action research, training and mentoring to influence NGO's and local organisations to develop individually and be effective in the projects that they support, but also to establish strong relationships amongst each other so that the problems of Africa may be better addressed.
Our work has resulted in The Harare Declaration and also the "Partnership Transformation Research", which can be accessed on our Research Page.
