The Equal Alliance Network
Building on the successful implementation of the KNCV network organizations, currently including at least six functional national entities, KNCV is committed to strengthening an Equal Alliance Network by deepening collaborations among global and in-country actors, along with other key stakeholders.
Country presence has long been KNCV’s key differentiator, enabling seamless execution in diverse contexts and providing on-the-ground insights from across geographies. This new approach aims to further those strengths by fostering an alliance based on strategic complementarity between global and in-country actors, co-creating solutions that are both scalable and rooted in local context.
This model reinforces KNCV’s commitment to localization by elevating in-country entities as equal partners and building institutional capacity close to where the impact occurs.
What is the Equal Alliance Network?
A globally coherent but locally owned model for TB+ programming that fosters mutual accountability. National entities and KNCV Global share a level playing field in setting the alliance’s agenda.
It aims to:
- Truly empower national entities
- Ensure complementarity of effort
- Strengthen KNCV’s positioning as a multi-country implementation partner across relevant disease areas and donors
Affiliate partners may be integrated into the Equal Alliance Network based on clear alignment principles:
- Demonstrated commitment to KNCV’s core mission and willingness to adopt integrated, multi- disease health systems approaches
- A systems-based approach to implementation, particularly with embedded networks in national programs
- Complementary strengths that enhance KNCV’s capabilities in deploying innovations
The Equal Alliance Network will function through clearly defined and complementary roles between KNCV Global and in-country actors, leveraging the distinct strengths of each.
