"Risk, Protection & Locally-Led Humanitarian Response: A Practical Guide to Responsible Partnerships"

Nonviolent Peaceforces (NP) responsible Partnerships Framework offers practical guidance on how partnerships between INGOs and NNGOs, CSOs, and CBOs can be practiced more responsibly. This overview, and the practical toolkit it introduces, has largely grown out of NP’s partnerships in Ukraine, as outlined in the earlier Responsible Partnerships Brief, which describes the risks faced by Ukrainian organizations responding to civilian needs following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. NP's approach to responsible partnerships is rooted in Unarmed Civilian Protection, which offers a pathway to intentional engagement with local communities as leaders in their own protection and action.
