The Solidarity Network brings together diverse actors across the development ecosystem who are interested in moving beyond transactional partnerships toward deeper collaboration, shared learning, and collective problem-solving. Anchored in trust, reciprocity, and reflective practice.

1. The Solidarity Fund

A catalytic matching fund supporting community-rooted, trust-based, and practice-led partnerships.

The Fund supports collaborative and immersive initiatives between INGOs, NGOs, and CBOs that demonstrate alternative partnership approaches in practice, including Trust-based approaches, Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), Positive Deviance, participatory practice, and other community-led models of change. It also enables CBOs within the PRA network to access matching support for locally identified initiatives, while generating practical learning on what more equitable and power-conscious partnerships can look like in reality.

2. Reimagining philanthropy beyond financial giving.

This includes giving back time, expertise, and accompaniment to Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) that often operate with limited access to technical support, strategic guidance, and institutional networks. This is to position expertise as a form of relational philanthropy, recognising that meaningful systems change is built through sustained collaboration, knowledge exchange, and mutual support rather than funding alone.

3. A platform for partnership and collaboration

Intentionally matching progressive funders, INGOs, CBOs, and individuals committed to decolonised and equity-driven approaches to development. It creates space for co-creation and alignment around shared commitments to shifting power, challenging extractive practices, and advancing more locally grounded, relational ways of working
