Resilience Through Partnership | VOICE Out Loud #40

In the 40th edition of the VOICE Out Loud magazine, you will find an article “Resilience Through Partnership: NGO-driven Private Sector Engagement in Fragile Settings” by International Rescue Committee. In this article, IRC argues that NGOs must increasingly collaborate with the private sector and develop innovative financing models to support vulnerable communities more effectively and sustainably. Using examples from Jordan, Chad, Uganda, and the MENA region, the article explains how the IRC partners with businesses, startups, investors, and financial institutions to strengthen livelihoods, promote climate-smart economic activities, expand financial inclusion for refugees, and improve humanitarian services.

The article emphasizes that while private sector engagement is not a complete solution, it can help create more resilient humanitarian systems by combining investment, innovation, and local economic development with humanitarian expertise.
