Partnership management
Working on human rights brings organisations into new kinds of partnerships – with NGOs, trade unions, certification bodies, multistakeholder initiatives and community organisations. These relationships are valuable, but they require a different approach to commercial partnerships.
The Inherently Human team brings direct experience of working inside NGOs, trade unions, membership organisations and multistakeholder initiatives. We understand the perspectives on all sides, and the dynamics that shape these relationships – including when they come under strain.
Building new partnerships
We support clients to identify and connect with local NGOs, specialists and organisations who can strengthen their human rights work on the ground – making introductions, helping to establish shared terms and supporting the early stages of the relationship.
Managing partnerships directly
Where clients need more hands-on support, we can support with project management – establishing goals, building delivery plans and facilitating the ongoing relationship between parties.
Working alongside you
Sometimes organisations need guidance and practical support at the start of a new partnership. We help to establish roles, agree shared aims and set up effective ways of working together.
Trouble-shooting
Not every partnership works out as intended. We help organisations to identify constructive solutions when things are not working – and where necessary, to bring a partnership to a careful, considered close without damaging the relationships that matter.

Whether you’re looking to strengthen your existing relationships, review your partnership approach, or develop something new from the ground up, we can help.
