But then… crickets. Meetings drag. People change. Momentum dies.

We’ve seen nonprofits break through this, and helped them do it.

Together with VillageReach and in collaboration with 50 organisations across 16 countries, we’ve turned the knowledge held by all into a tool that maps a pathway to government-owned solutions.

(There are many ways to scale with government. But this tool focuses on the path where government doesn’t just support your work, they adopt it.)

Here’s how it works:

• Setting Out: Lay the groundwork. Get clear on your goals. Embrace radical collaboration with the right partners.
• The Mindset Shift: This is key. Let government lead, define the problems, and co-design the solutions. (We’ve made this section available as a standalone file, it’s that important.)
• The Journey: A practical guide through five stages including how to mobilise collaborators, co-create, execute, re-align, and embed your solution in the public sector.

Why this matters now:

Governments are essential to scaling impact. With recent shifts in the sector, in some contexts they can become even more vital to sustaining essential work. But getting to true ownership takes a deep commitment to alignment and trust building, and a shared vision of the outcomes.
