Partnerships
DRRA has never worked alone. For thirty years its work has been carried out with government, local partner organisations, international partners, companies and researchers. Its accounts are independently audited every year.
Corporate CSR partnerships
Programmes built around your business and your employees, with agreed results and reporting.
Sourcing
Place orders with DRRA’s training and production programmes, including bags and garments.
Programme sponsorship
Support a rehabilitation unit, a school or a training cohort for a set period.
Cause Marketing
Co-branded campaigns tied to product launches or seasonal giving moments.
Employee volunteering and matched giving
Volunteer days, in Bangladesh or online, and matched giving through your payroll scheme.
Strategic partnership
Multi-year commitments aligned with your CSR and ESG reporting.
Reporting
Reports on your partnership’s results, at intervals agreed with you, with sources for every figure.
Grant partnerships built on evidence
We work with foundations on multi-year programmes with an agreed theory of change, a results framework and evaluation. We can share past evaluations, our research and audited accounts.

DRRA has not worked alone

Partnership is more than funding
Every partnership category above can involve more than one kind of contribution:
How we strengthen small NGOs, community organisations and OPDs
Local organisations know their communities best but are often the last to receive resources. DRRA’s model helps them build the capacity, systems and relationships to lead, and then steps back: graduation, shared responsibility, handover and exit.
1. Identify
Find local organisations already trusted by persons with disabilities, including those too small to reach donors directly.
2. Assess
Look at governance, finance, safeguarding and programme quality, and agree what to strengthen.
3. Strengthen
Training, mentoring and on-the-job support for staff and boards.
4. Co-design
Design programmes with the organisation and the community, not for them.
5. Support
Funding, technical guidance and monitoring, with responsibilities written down.
6. Implement and learn
The organisation delivers; both sides review results and adjust.
7. Transfer
Hand over programmes, data and relationships with local government.
8. Sustain
DRRA exits and stays available as a peer.
What the record shows
From 2004 a DRRA National Coordination Team supported the capacity, networking and monitoring of local partner organisations. DRRA provided training modules, training of trainers and on-the-job training to partner staff. For many small partners, working with DRRA was their first experience of receiving and managing donor funds.
