Purpose

Integral World prioritizes partnerships (SDG 17) as a driving force behind achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The organization recognizes that addressing complex sustainable development challenges requires collaborative efforts that harness diverse expertise, resources, and innovative solutions. Through strategic partnerships, Integral World aims to amplify its impact, facilitate knowledge sharing, promote inclusive decision-making, and drive collective action. By fostering multi-stakeholder collaborations with governments, NGOs, businesses, and communities, Integral World taps into a wealth of perspectives, on-ground realities, and complementary capabilities. These partnerships enable coordinated implementation, capacity building, and the co-creation of context-specific interventions. Integral World leverages partnerships as catalysts for scaling up successful initiatives, mobilizing resources efficiently, and ensuring the sustainability of development efforts.

Underpinned by the principles of mutual learning, shared responsibility, and inclusive participation, Integral World’s approach to partnerships contributes to achieving transformative change, empowering marginalized groups, and promoting equitable, people-centered sustainable development worldwide.

Process

As an entity rooted in Auroville’s ethos of human unity and sustainable living, Integral World recognizes the transformative power of partnerships in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. We actively nurture collaborations that mobilize knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources to support development efforts, particularly in underserved regions. 

Our approach involves fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships that bring together governments, civil society, private sector, and local communities. By embracing diverse perspectives and leveraging complementary strengths, we co-create contextual solutions and drive innovation. We facilitate access to environmentally sound technologies, capacity building initiatives, and policy frameworks that enhance coherence and accountability. Through people-centric partnerships, Integral World amplifies impact, promotes inclusive participation, and ensures initiatives are owned by communities. We champion effective public-private-civil society alliances that mobilize resources efficiently and equitably. Our vision aligns with building a global partnership premised on mutual learning, shared responsibilities, and the collective pursuit of sustainable development for all.
