Get involved · Partnership

Build impact together

CHRSD partners with governments, universities, NGOs, and businesses that share our commitment to evidence-based, community-centred development. A formal partnership means co-designing, co-delivering, and co-owning results.

Partnership types

Four models of collaboration

We tailor each partnership to the partner's mandate, capacity, and geography. Formal agreements are underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding and a jointly agreed work plan with measurable deliverables.

Government & Institutional

Public sector partnerships

We work alongside government ministries, district administrations, and statutory bodies to co-design and implement large-scale programmes — particularly in digital governance, afforestation, and community welfare.

  • Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change
  • Local Government Division
  • District & Upazila Administrations
Academic & Research

Research collaborations

We co-author studies, share field data, and embed academic researchers within our programme teams. Partners gain access to unique longitudinal datasets; CHRSD gains methodological rigour.

  • Universities & research institutes
  • Think tanks and policy centres
  • International academic consortia
Civil Society & NGOs

Civil society alliances

We coordinate with local and national NGOs to avoid duplication, pool community trust, and deliver complementary services — especially in human rights advocacy and community welfare.

  • Community-based organisations
  • Rights-focused NGOs
  • International humanitarian agencies
Private Sector & CSR

Corporate partnerships

Mission-aligned businesses can support our programmes through CSR funding, secondment of skilled staff, pro-bono services, or technology provision — contributing directly to measurable SDG outcomes.

  • Environmental & impact investors
  • Technology and GIS firms
  • Corporate CSR programmes

How we work

Our partnership principles

Mission alignment

Every partner relationship must advance CHRSD's mandate. We do not accept partnerships that compromise our independence or conflict with our values.

Mutual accountability

We share progress data, field reports, and audited financials with all formal partners. We expect the same in return.

Community primacy

Partnership decisions are assessed against their benefit to the communities we serve — not institutional convenience.

No conditions on advocacy

Funding partnerships do not restrict our right to advocate on any policy issue relevant to our mission.
