Day 11 of our series on "Shegepromax: The Challenges of Starting and Running an NGO in Nigeria," focusing on Collaboration and Partnerships.

By working together, we can address complex social challenges more effectively and sustainably.

Key Benefits of Collaboration
Resource Sharing: Collaborating with other NGOs allows for pooling resources, which can enhance program delivery. Research indicates that organizations engaged in partnerships report a 50% increase in resource mobilization efforts, enabling them to reach more beneficiaries.

Collective Advocacy: A unified voice can significantly amplify advocacy efforts. According to NOGALSS, partnerships facilitate joint advocacy campaigns that can lead to policy reforms and improved access to services for marginalized populations.

Knowledge Exchange: Collaboration fosters knowledge sharing and best practices among organizations. A study found that NGOs involved in collaborative networks are 60% more likely to adopt innovative approaches in their programs.

Enhanced Credibility: Partnering with well-established organizations can enhance credibility and attract funding. Highlighting collaborations in grant proposals can strengthen applications, as funders often prefer supporting initiatives with demonstrated collective impact.

Increased Impact: Collaborations lead to more comprehensive solutions. Data shows that NGOs that engage in partnerships achieve project success rates that are 40% higher than those working independently.

Why This Matters?
In today's interconnected world, collaboration is not just beneficial; it's essential for driving meaningful change. By building strong partnerships, NGOs can amplify their impact and contribute to a more connected and empowered social sector.
