SA4D believes in the power of partnership and co-creation.

By working hand-in-hand with our local partner organisations, we leverage existing structures and build on local knowledge. In this way, we not only promote ownership among the local population but also benefit from fruitful exchanges and mutual learning.

Collaboration and mutual learning

SA4D’s staff working on the youth entrepreneurship project in Zimbabwe have gained a solid understanding of the employment situation for disadvantaged young people in the Shamva District. However, the young people themselves, along with local organizations supporting them, have an even deeper insight into the realities and the challenges of the local labour market.

This is why SA4D always works closely with all project stakeholders. Depending on the local partner’s needs and interests, SA4D provides support in the areas of sport and play, and our focus areas health, education, and employment. Additionally, we offer know-how in monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), as well as organisational strengthening and strategy development. At the same time, we benefit from our partners expertise, experiences and contextual understanding, further strengthening our own organisation for future partnerships and projects. This reciprocal exchange fosters a mutually beneficial partnership.

By partnering with local organizations, we embed our projects within existing structures, enhancing their longevity and sustainability. This approach gradually minimizes dependency on external support and creates a sustainable framework that can continue to benefit the communities long after our initial involvement.
