The Partnership Model

At Aidlink, we believe the key to long-term, sustainable development is a strong and vibrant African civil society, whereby local people are empowered to tackle poverty and catalyse change. From a small HQ in Dublin, Aidlink works through partnership, meaning there are no Aidlink staff or Aidlink offices located in Africa. Instead, Aidlink links with local, African community based organisations to collectively deliver our work. Aidlink also commits to the development and capacity building of our local partner organisations; training staff, training boards of management and funding their organisational development to become strong, sustainable, and independent, organisations. For over 35 years, Aidlink has worked through partnership, forging relationships with local organisations and building their capacity to become development leaders in their communities.
