đ When Many Act as One: USAIDâs Collective Impact Approach
At its heart, Collective Impact recognizes that no single actorâgovernment, NGO, or donorâcan solve complex challenges alone. Progress requires multiple players working toward a common agenda, using shared measurements, engaging in mutually reinforcing activities, maintaining continuous communication, and supported by a dedicated backbone function. These five elements shaped partnerships that delivered results greater than the sum of their parts.
