PARTNER WITH US
This policy has been formulated to address three key categories—international organizations and donors, the private sector and corporations, and local institutions—while incorporating governance standards as well as banking and international compliance protocols to enhance the Organization’s credibility in the eyes of donors and financial institutions.
Strategic Partnership and Cooperation Policy:
Al-Yusr Organization believes that addressing humanitarian challenges and achieving sustainable development requires the integration of efforts and the alignment of visions. Driven by this conviction, we welcome strategic partnerships with international organizations, government institutions, the private sector (specifically regarding Corporate Social Responsibility), and local Organizations. Our aim is to build a humanitarian operational model founded on integrity, innovation, and tangible impact on the lives of the most vulnerable populations.
First: Targeted Partnership Categories
The Organization accepts partnership applications from four primary sectors:
International Organizations and Donors: To fund and implement major humanitarian projects, as well as to develop relief and development programs in accordance with international standards.
The Private Sector and Corporations (CSR): To activate Corporate Social Responsibility programs through project sponsorship, co-financing, or the provision of in-kind and technical support.
Local Institutions and Organizations: To engage in joint fieldwork, facilitate the exchange of expertise, and expand our reach to beneficiaries within targeted regions.
Academic and Research Institutions: To conduct field studies, assess needs, and develop innovative solutions to humanitarian challenges.
Second: Partnership Principles at Al-Yusr Organization
All our partnerships are governed by strict governance principles that prioritize the best interests of the beneficiary while safeguarding the rights of all parties involved:
Absolute Transparency and Accountability: We are committed to providing periodic, audited financial and operational reports that accurately detail the flow of funds and project completion rates.
Adherence to Humanitarian Values: The partner’s objectives must align with general humanitarian principles (neutrality, independence, preservation of dignity, and non-discrimination).
Efficiency and Sustainable Impact: We focus on partnerships that achieve maximum cost-efficiency and generate a sustainable impact that contributes to the empowerment of local communities.
Third: Compliance and Due Diligence Standards
To ensure the integrity of financial and operational processes—as well as compliance with local and international laws regarding the prevention of financial crimes—all partnership applications undergo “Due Diligence” procedures conducted by the Organization’s Compliance Unit. These procedures include:
Legal Status: The partner entity must be officially and legally registered with the relevant regulatory authorities and hold a valid operating license.
Screening Against Compliance Lists: The names of partner entities and their legal representatives are screened against approved local and international lists of prohibited entities and sanctions (such as United Nations lists and official banking registries).
Financial Integrity: Verification of the entity’s clear financial statements, and confirmation that it is not involved in any activities entailing conflicts of interest or illicit practices. Fourth: Partnership Building Mechanism and Stages
We follow a clear and structured process to streamline cooperation procedures:
Application Submission: Complete the online partnership application form available at the bottom of this page and attach the required official documents.
Review and Evaluation: The Partnerships Department and the Compliance Unit review the application and verify qualifications and criteria within 7 to 10 business days.
Joint Planning: Conduct coordination meetings (online or in-person) to define the scope of work, draft the technical proposal, and prepare estimated budgets.
Agreement Signing (MoU): Conclude a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) or a formal partnership agreement that precisely outlines each party’s obligations, the timeline, and the monitoring and evaluation mechanisms.
Implementation and Reporting: Commence project implementation in the field while providing the partner with periodic reports (financial and administrative), supported by digital and media documentation.
