Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement

Connecting the Sector for Collective Impact

AIFIP acts as a convener—bringing together diverse stakeholders to align priorities, share knowledge, and co-create sector-wide solutions.

  • Build partnerships with government agencies, research institutions, donors, and private sector actors.
  • Host stakeholder forums, AGMs, and Knowledge Cafés for dialogue and learning.
  • Form working groups on key themes such as markets, safety, communication, and training.
  • Manage partnerships transparently.
  • Facilitate cross-sector collaboration to align standards, data, and investment efforts.
