Partnerships
How Rawdah distinguishes partnership relationships and cooperation with institutions.
Approach to cooperation
Rawdah has facilitated the involvement of universities, lecturers, training providers, public institutions, civil society, diaspora networks and professionals. This capacity enables the Organization to position itself as a Local Implementing Partner, Institutional Facilitator, Training Platform and Bridge Organization between Somalia and international partners.
To ensure clarity and transparency, Rawdah distinguishes between funding, implementing, institutional, academic and technical, and stakeholder relationships. Dialogue with an institution does not automatically imply a formal partnership.
Partnership categories
To ensure clarity and transparency, Rawdah distinguishes between the following relationship types.
Funding Partners / Donors

Institutional Partners
Entities with formal agreements or structured forms of cooperation.
