Save the Children is the leading expert on childhood and a global NGO, working in more than 100 countries to improve child health, education and protection. The Food & Agriculture team works with private and public sector partners covering 10 crops in 8 countries to solve the root causes of child labour affecting smallholder agriculture communities around the world.
For the Food & Agriculture team, I worked closely with senior leadership to develop their corporate partnerships strategy. This included the development of a visibility plan, running a hybrid side event at the International Labour Organisation conference and supporting the development of a public-private partnership platform for cocoa in Indonesia. Additionally, I laid the groundwork for acquiring new private sector partners by developing thematic position papers on climate, gender, child labour, and prospect research. I worked closely with in-country teams and technical advisors around the globe to develop project material for private sector partners.
