Partners may include donors, global funds, private sector organisations, academic institutions, networks, and others which endorse the CSSF 2022-2030, support the aims of GADRRRES, and are willing to provide material, in-kind and/or strategic support, but do not meet the criteria for membership. Like members, the core commitment of partners is to advocate for Comprehensive School Safety (CSS) through support to the implementation of the CSSF 2022-2030.
