Partnering with the government is essential for achieving sustainable impact at scale. In India 🇮🇳, 350 million people depend on shared natural resources, such as community forests, pastures, and water bodies, for their livelihoods. The Foundation For Ecological Security (FES) is striving to ensure that communities have land rights, practice inclusive governance, and have access to the resources needed to restore these natural resources, collectively known as the Commons. To achieve this, FES considers that all government partnerships need to serve the aim of building government capacity. In 2022, we partnered with FES to systemise their approach to government partnerships and build their capacity to deliver on their strategic objectives.

Every year, tens of thousands of children in the US are incarcerated in juvenile detention facilities. The vast majority are Black, Latino, and indigenous boys. Much attention has been paid to the “school-to-prison pipeline,” but less has been devoted to the successful reentry of children from detention centres to mainstream schooling. Spring Impact supported #LiftingTheBar and Stanford Impact Labs in developing and testing pathways for scaling their project, which focused on working with country and district leaders to strengthen student-educator relationships for students in key transitional moments.
