Partnerships
Cittadinanza develops its projects in collaboration with partner organisations in the countries in which it operates, as well as with public bodies and institutions in Italy.
Partnerships with local organisations are central to our approach. We work with them to plan and carry out our activities, enhance local know-how, and ensure the long-term sustainability of our operations.
Local partners (in countries of intervention):
Koinonia Community, Miti Global Foundation, The Action Foundation (TAF), Neighbours Initiative Alliance (NIA), St. Luke Catholic Hospital, VCBRA, SCARF, Best New Life Shelter.
Local institutions like the Kenya National Counsil of People with Disabilities, Nairobi City County, Kajiado County and other local institutions.
At the same time, we collaborate with Italian organisations – including NGOs, third-sector organisations, universities, local administrations, and healthcare facilities – which contribute to the development of our projects by providing their technical, scientific, and educational expertise.
Main Italian partners:
ANSvi, Amani for Africa, EducAid, Associazione Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII, Medici con l’Africa CUAMM, CEFA, Angelo in Africa Association, Fisioterapisti Senza Frontiere, AUSL Romagna, University of Bologna, Municipality of Ravenna, Municipality of Verucchio, Municipality of Rimini.
Some foundations and public institutions also endorse our activities by helping us finance and enhance our programmes.
Institutions and foundations:
Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), Presidency of the Council of Ministers (with the so-called “eight per thousand” tax), the Emilia-Romagna Region, Tavola Valdese, Campo Lavoro Missionario Association, Fondazione Prosolidar, Fondazione Museke.
Besides institutional collaborations, Cittadinanza also benefits from the contributions of volunteers and technical collaborators, such as photographers, graphic designers and web developers, and communication consultants, who support us in documenting, communicating, and developing our activities.
