We ensure the process of articulating problems and identifying solutions are politically feasible and technically appropriate. Through our commitment to localization, we team with local actors so our shared contextual knowledge informs our understanding of the coalitions or networks that can shape or advance policy and institutional reform. We also use system-aware, contextually appropriate approaches to design, implement, and monitor our programs to achieve better results for everyone.
