Global Resilience Partnership (GRP)

The Challenge: The Global Resilience Partnership advances resilience through identifying and scaling on the ground innovation, generating and sharing knowledge, and shaping policy. They approached Marchmont for support with raising understanding and visibility for the role of resilience in tackling global development issues over the long term.

More specifically they wanted to leverage the work of their global network of 38 Challenge winners – from a series of competitions hosted by GRP to find innovative, scalable solutions – all working on different aspects of resilience across the Sahel and Horn of Africa and in Southeast Asia.

Our Approach: To achieve this, Marchmont:

  • Delivered a comprehensive support package designed to make the complex, abstract concept of “resilience” come to life – in other words, to make it personal, tangible and urgent. This included an initial landscape analysis, which informed the communications planning.
  • Created a detailed editorial calendar to identify opportunities for proactive media outreach on behalf of the Challenge winners and organised several media field visits of their work on the ground.
  • Ran communications workshops and strategic planning sessions to build capacity amongst Challenge winners so they could amplify their work in-house more effectively.

Outcomes:
