Working in a network potentializes resources and competencies, gaining scale for social transformation projects, maximizing impact, and providing knowledge sharing among the people and organizations that are involved.

Consolidating lasting partnerships is part of our strategic philanthropic investment. We believe that this work model is one of the answers to generate the transformation we want. After all, partnerships open the way for other resources, coming, for example, from multilateral agencies and the public and private sectors, to join and complement this ecosystem.

In this direction, Humanize’s actions seek to connect with leading organizations in different sectors, in order to replicate good practices and give scale, capillarity, and leverage to the investments that are done. This happens especially with efforts aimed at contributing to transformed territories, strengthened and expanded local capacities, and a more sustainable and conscious development – one that enables people and natural resources to coexist more harmoniously.

In this scenario, we currently have ten active partnerships:

Uma Concertação pela Amazônia

With great articulation capacity, this initiative mobilizes more than 400 leaders and engages around 250 organizations to seek conservation solutions and contribute to long-term, inclusive, low-carbon sustainable development for the biome. This partnership is therefore characterized as a broad, diverse, and plural network of people, institutions, and companies. In recent years, the actors that form the network were divided into eight working groups (WGs), namely: Bio-economy, Education, Culture, Youth, Land Planning and Land Regularization, Political Intelligence, Socio-territorial Infrastructure, and Private Sector Engagement.

In favor of the Amazon, the network has important potential for dissemination of knowledge and recommendation at national and international levels, which includes an active participation in the United Nations Climate Conference (COP).

Vamos

This partnership operates in a collaborative and coordinated way focused on the articulation and mobilization of people, knowledge and resources – which contributes to promoting and disseminating a culture of engagement, valorization and strategic management of people who work in the public and in the third sector.

VAMOS relies on four pillars of action: (i) Knowledge production and dissemination; (ii) Recognition, innovation, and search for solutions; (iii) Articulation, mobilization, and legitimacy; (iv) Creation and strengthening of the ecosystem.

VAMOS Partnership supports initiatives that can influence a better personnel management policy in the public sector, especially because there is a belief that this is a key element to contribute to quality public services and to enable third sector leaders and organizations to act as transformation agents.
