Could it be as easy as that? Could we shed all structures and conventions and simply meet each other in our humanity and engage in exploring each other’s questions? Being a mirror to each other?
This week we spent a day with one of our partners, Tamkeen, exploring alternative ways of being in partnership beyond a traditional funder-grantee relationship. In particular, we wanted to explore how reporting could look like if it was not about a grantee reporting their progress to a funder, but about two equal partners coming together with an intent of joint learning.
