Challenges

Some of the frameworks and concepts used within their work are quite technical, so being able to describe them in a simple coherent way will need to be explored. The way that they describe the impact of their work, will be critical for onboarding partners and attracting funders to support projects.

With people and planet at the core of their work, the solution needs to feel connected with the core impact of their work.
