Humentum’s role
At Humentum, we build and support equitable, resilient, and accountable (ERA) operating models to create a bridge between strategy and action for better outcomes.
Using our theory of change as a guide, Humentum focuses on the four key components of operating models.
Equity, resilience, and accountability is what organizations should seek to achieve, and how they will get there. It is a lens through which to view the journey.
Humentum builds and supports ERA operating models through advocacy, community, training, and consultancy.
Transforming the funding ecosystem requires action from: funders, CSOs, and INGOs. Humentum’s “12 Levers of Change” provide actionable steps to bring us closer to effective locally led development.
