How we work

Our partnership principles

Mission alignment

Partners share our rights-based, community-first approach. We decline arrangements that undercut our founding mandate.

Mutual accountability

Every partnership carries clear deliverables and joint reporting. Both parties own outcomes and both parties can walk if the terms are breached.

Community primacy

Programme design begins with the affected community, not the funder. Partners agree to community consent and feedback loops as non-negotiable.

No conditions on advocacy

Funding never comes with a veto over CHRSD's public positions. Our advocacy is independent of any partner's commercial or political interests.
