Are you part of one of the Strategic Partnerships (SP) funded under the Strengthening Civil Society framework of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs? And would you like to learn and share knowledge about topics you and your SP colleagues find important or struggle with?
Join the Partos Innovation Hub
The Partos Innovation Hub facilitates joint learning in and between the Strategic Partnerships, through our SP Lab. In the SP Lab sessions, we learn and exchange knowledge related to the practical implementation of partnerships, PMEL approaches, decolonisation and localisation, and many more topics.
The goal of the SP Lab is not only to facilitate collaborative learning from and with each other in the Strategic Partnerships but also to facilitate connections between different Strategic Partnerships, facilitating cooperation between Strategic Partnerships on both content areas as on a geographical basis.
These sessions are open both for organisations directly involved in these programmes, other Partos members and interested international development professionals.
SP Lab 2025
In 2025, the closing year of the Strategic Partnerships, we will jointly reflect on the ways of working and impact of the partnerships. Together, we have identified a number of prioirty themes, including:
- Exchange on the end-term evaluations
- Documenting and sharing lessons learned
- Program closure and sustainability
- Localisation & working in partnerships
- Advocacy and communication in times of shrinking civic space
Throughout 2025, we will host learning sessions on these different topics. The sessions will be co-created with the Strategic Partnerships and other interested organizations. Would you like to co-organise a session or propose a topic? Or are you interested in posting a relevant blog on our website? Write to anna@partos.nl.
