Funding and programme development
Explore a shared concept, funding opportunity or programme focused on digital learning, skills, innovation or community needs. Scope, responsibilities and outcomes would be agreed with partners before work begins.
DEWIVO / Partnerships
Build with
DEWIVO.
We collaborate with funders, institutions, educators, companies, networks and communities that want to strengthen African digital capacity and practical innovation.
A shared starting point
Good work begins with a problem we understand together.
DEWIVO is being built in Sierra Leone around technology, education and innovation. We are open to working with people and organizations who see a practical role for digital knowledge and locally relevant technology in addressing real needs.
We do not assume every challenge needs a new platform or programme. We begin by listening, defining the need and deciding together whether DEWIVO is the right partner for the work.
Partnership areas
Different partners can help move good work forward.
Institutional collaboration
Work with schools, universities, NGOs, public institutions and companies to understand a need and explore a practical response involving technology, learning or digital systems.
Technical and research collaboration
Bring together relevant expertise to investigate a challenge, test an idea, develop a prototype or document what can be learned. Any work would be scoped to the people, context and resources involved.
Knowledge and network exchange
Share experience, connect practitioners and contribute perspectives that help shape locally grounded technology and education work.
Potential collaboration areas
Work we are interested in exploring.
These are areas of interest, not a list of funded or active programmes. The right scope depends on the needs, experience and resources each partner brings.
Digital education
Practical learning, digital literacy and pathways for people to build with technology.
Locally relevant technology
Digital tools and systems shaped around a clear need and the context where they will be used.
Research and experimentation
Learning about a problem, exploring options and testing ideas responsibly.
Institutional digital development
Helping organizations consider how technology and digital skills can support their work.
Youth and community innovation
Creating room for local knowledge, ideas and problem-solving to inform possible responses.
Responsible use of emerging technology
Considering where new tools may be useful, appropriate and accessible, and where they may not be.
How we begin
A clear conversation before a commitment.
- 01
Share the challenge
Tell us who the work is for, what need you see and what has already been tried.
- 02
Explore the fit
We discuss whether the challenge aligns with DEWIVO's focus and what each side could realistically contribute.
- 03
Agree the scope
If there is a fit, define roles, resources, timing, expected learning and how progress will be understood before moving forward.
