CARE Rwanda Partnership Strategy (2024-2030 )
This document outlines CARE Rwanda’s partnership strategy, which guides how the organization collaborates with various stakeholders to achieve its development goals. The strategy reflects CARE Rwanda’s evolution from direct project implementation to a facilitator role, focusing on gender justice and women’s economic empowerment through partnerships with six key types of organizations: local civil society groups (especially women’s rights organizations), private sector entities, government partners, media outlets, research institutions, and peer international NGOs. It presents a framework with six domains of change – funding, partnerships, capacities, participation and coordination, visibility, and policy influence – each with specific progress metrics. The strategy emphasizes localizing aid and shifting power dynamics to enable locally-led development, requiring CARE Rwanda to reduce its operational footprint while building new competencies in facilitation and advocacy, though implementation will require organizational behavior change and ongoing attention to tensions that emerged during its participatory development process.
