The Challenge
An international NGO focused on childrens rights needed to assess the sustainability and compatibility of a potential partnership with a Gulf-based charity foundation within a lack of transparency at the global, regional, and local levels in order to ensure the INGO’s core principles are upheld in future collaborations.
Our Crafted Solution
Globesight performed a comprehensive due diligence assessment of the charity and of the partnership. We developed a multifaceted framework involving geographies, key issues, and stakeholder perspectives to provide critical insights into both the charity organization and the potential partnership. We also identified reputational risks for the INGO across multiple geographies and program areas, and offered viable mitigating actions.
The Impact
With Globesight’s support, the INGO gained a deep understanding of the risks and benefits moving forward with the partnership or other potential future collaborations with GCC-based charity foundations.
The Challenge
The foundation sought to make an impact on Arab youth unemployment in the GCC by developing an academy to build capacity among youth and connect them to the retail sector. After scoping and surveying the market, the foundation needed an effective business plan to move the development of the academy forward and achieve high impact.
Our Crafted Solution
Globesight developed a comprehensive assessment of the region to identify key areas for engagement. We analyzed key documentation and performed extensive interviews with relevant stakeholders to frame the model for the academy. We then developed an eight-dimensional operating model with cost and revenue projections over a five-year period that considers the regional context. We also identified key factors for successful implementation as well as recommendations along each dimension of the operating model (programs, locations, etc.).
The Impact
With Globesight’s support, the foundation was enabled to initiate the development of the academy with a deep understanding of the operational and financial needs in order to achieve success.
The Challenge
A global education foundation sought an expert brief and update on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focused on SDG #4, namely quality education, highlighting implications for the global foundation’s strategy moving forward.
Our Crafted Solution
Globesight developed a precise framework to analyze the SDGs against the global foundation’s goals and identified engagement potentials. We developed a comprehensive framework to analyze the shift from Millennium Development Goals to SDGs and evaluated how SDG #4 was perceived within the international community against the foundation’s objectives. We shaped impact-focused implementation strategies and opportunities for SDG-related goals, including resource mobilization and funding modalities.
The Impact
With Globesight’s support, the client could confidently decide on a path forward with suggested recommendations. Through a collaborative approach, with the emerging global architecture on financing for education, the global foundation was able to harness key synergies to achieve its goals and objectives.
