Teams

  • Core teams: from our experienced pool of experts to cover the main strategic and operational responsibilities of the assistances.
  • Second layer consultants: to back up the core team providing her expert advise and input in several thematic and/or geographical contexts (e.g.: editors in chief, digital security consultants, etc.)

ContactsAdded values:

  • Breadth and depth of expertise: covering a wide array of skills, thematic areas and geographical understanding underpinned by the access to external pools of experts.
  • Team based approach: counting on a team rather than on an individual provides multiples advantages in terms of brainstorming approaches and participatory decision making.
  • Donor understanding: insights of over a dozen key donors and potential donors of Internews such as SIDA, the EU (EIDHR, IcSP, ENI, EDF), NORAD, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, USAID, DFID, etc.

  • Result-based approach: the overall works are proposed on a result based model to boost efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Spirit and impulse boost: team working and rotation are essential for keeping the spirit up thanks to peer support and collaboration (minimising fatigue and turnover risks of average employees)
  • Activist spirit: complementary to our professionalism in our fields of action our team add up several frontline activists (thinkers and doers) in different fields. From the team lead (passionate and activist from grass roots urban horizontal democracy movements) to the assistant (regional rights activists) and several of the proposed experts (women rights activists, LGBTIQ+ activists, environmental fighters, etc.) we cover a wide array of frontlines trenches.
