Partner with us
Work alongside an organisation that reports its results.
ISSED is committed to transparency, sustainability and community-led development. Partnering with us contributes directly to initiatives that create long-term impact in rural communities.
Why partner with ISSED
What a partner gets
ISSED welcomes partnerships and collaborations with organisations that share its commitment to sustainable development and social transformation.
Transparency
A published results framework, with indicators and means of verification defined before the work starts — not assembled afterwards to fit the outcome.
Sustainability
Low-cost practices designed to keep working after a funding cycle closes. Nothing depends on an input a household cannot afford next year.
Community-led
Priorities are set locally. ISSED strengthens capacity that already exists in a community rather than substituting for it.
Rooted in Malawi
A Malawian organisation, headquartered in Lilongwe, working with the same communities season after season since 2015.
Who we work with
Partnerships we are open to
Donors and funders
Institutional donors, foundations and trusts funding agriculture, food security, renewable energy or civic empowerment programming in Malawi.
Government institutions
Ministries and district structures working on farmer-centred agricultural and socio-economic policy.
NGOs and networks
Organisations delivering complementary work where coordination avoids duplication and extends reach.
Private sector
Businesses supporting rural supply chains, renewable energy access or enterprise development.
Community groups
Farmer associations, savings groups and village structures that want to work with ISSED directly.
Researchers
Academic and evaluation partners interested in evidence from community-led development in Malawi.
Where support goes
Seven areas, each with its own measures
A partner can support ISSED’s work as a whole, or fund a specific area against its defined objective and indicators.
