Challenges

The operational reality of running programs at this scale

When your organization spans dozens of countries and thousands of partner relationships, every gap in your process is a gap in accountability

icon checklist

National offices fund programs that HQ discovers after the fact

icon team

Partner vetting is inconsistent across country teams

icon timing

Producing evidence for 12 institutional donors consumes months per year

Volunteer programs run on spreadsheets and reported on estimates

icon path

Launching in a new country means building a new process from scratch

Partner selection is driven by precedent rather than structured criteria
