How partnership works

A clear process from alignment to reporting.

TBL partnerships should be easy to understand, practical to activate and clear enough to report back to funders, boards and stakeholders.

Clarify the partner’s impact goal, beneficiary group, development focus and preferred involvement.

02

Match the right pathway

Align the objective to a programme, development pillar, community initiative or customised intervention.

03

Shape the delivery plan

Define scope, participants, activities, delivery partners, roles, timelines and practical requirements.

04

Implement the programme

Deliver training, mentorship, community support, enterprise development or beneficiary activation.

05

Report the impact

Track participation, outputs, stories, lessons and measurable progress for partner reporting.
