The Nairobi_UnConference: Beyond Data, Beyond Borders ignited a spark of collaboration within Kenya’s social impact ecosystem. As we delve deeper into the event’s rich content, let’s explore potential opportunities and partners for meaningful collaboration:
1. Cross-Sector Synergies

3. Data Storytelling Collective
- Media Agencies and NGOs: Join forces to amplify impact through data-driven storytelling. Media professionals can help nonprofits craft compelling narratives that resonate with wider audiences.
4. AI-Driven Solutions
- Tech Startups and Social Enterprises: Explore partnerships to develop AI chatbots for social impact. From healthcare to education, AI can enhance service delivery and reach underserved communities.
5. Streamlining Data Management
- Data Consultants and NGOs: Collaborate to streamline data processes. Efficient data management ensures actionable insights. Let’s prioritise quality over quantity.
6. Local Context Integration
- Community Leaders and NGOs: Involve local leaders in data initiatives. Their insights ensure relevance and cultural sensitivity. Together, we can co-design solutions that truly serve the community.
7. Ethical Data Practices
- Legal Experts and Tech Developers: Establish ethical guidelines for data collection, privacy, and usage. Let’s protect beneficiaries’ rights and build trust.
8. Scaling Impact
- Scaling Partnerships: NGOs can partner with organizations experienced in scaling data-driven interventions. Learn from their strategies and adapt them locally.
9. Data Justice Advocacy
- Civil Society Coalitions: Advocate for data justice. Ensure equitable access, challenge power imbalances, and empower marginalized communities.
10. Global Collaborators
- International NGOs and Local Players: Collaborate beyond borders. GlobalGiving’s network spans continents. Let’s tap into this global community for knowledge exchange and resource sharing.
As we explore these opportunities, let’s remember that collaboration is more than a buzzword — it’s a catalyst for transformative change. The Nairobi_UnConference laid the groundwork; now let’s build bridges that transcend borders and empower communities.
