Working in partnership
Our vision can be achieved even more effectively through working with others. For Plan, this means working
effectively in partnership with our sponsors, with other development organisations and with the private sector,
to combine our expertise and learning.

IN 2012, WE
WORKED IN 51,376
COLLABORATIONS
INCLUDING:
3,573 national and local
government institutions
1,682 international and
national level NGOs
44,000 locally based
organisations and
groups.
Child sponsors
At Plan, 75 years of child sponsorship has
helped us develop close links with many
communities in developing countries. As well
as providing us with an independent source of
income (€363 million during 2012), sponsorship
also contributes to our participation and
advocacy activities as sponsors share news
of our work through social media.
Partner organisations
Forming partnerships with organisations at
the local level is key to Plan’s work. In 2012,
we worked with more than 44,000 communitybased
organisations and more than 2,121
local NGOs.
The private sector
The value of the private sector to international
development is ever increasing and the nature
of corporate responsibility is evolving from
traditional philanthropy to a ‘shared value’
approach. This brings many opportunities
for Plan.
In 2012, we had more than 500 corporate
partners supporting Plan’s work.
