At Jawtana, we believe that achieving our vision of an equitable Kurdistan requires teamwork. That’s why partnership is at the heart of our mission. We invite organisations and changemakers from all sectors to join us, because we can accomplish far more together than we ever could alone.

Our approach is rooted in deep local expertise and a collaborative spirit. We don’t just deliver projects; we co-create lasting solutions with a diverse network of community groups, academic institutions, government agencies, and the private sector.

Why Partner with Jawtana?

• Shared Vision: Join us in our bold vision for inclusive, lifelong learning in Kurdistan. Our shared passion for strengthening local languages and knowledge will be the foundation of our work.
• Deep Local Expertise: We bring on-the-ground experience, cultural understanding, and trust built over years of work in Kurdistan. We listen to communities to ensure projects are locally led and culturally informed.
• Holistic Impact: Our work spans technology, education, language, and policy. This allows us to tackle challenges from all angles and create systemic, sustainable change.
• Collaborative Co-Creation: We involve partners in every stage of a project, from design to evaluation. This creates a flexible, inclusive process where every contributor’s strengths are valued and successes are shared.

Our Core Focus Areas

• Language Infrastructure: Developing open-source dictionaries, digital platforms, and software for the Kurdish language.
• Knowledge Curation: Gathering, creating, and sharing local knowledge in open libraries and archives.
• Inclusive Learning: Designing curricula, training programs, and platforms that empower diverse learners.
• Institutional Empowerment: Strengthening local schools, universities, and centres to improve education and services.
• Cross-Sector Collaboration: Bridging gaps between civil society, academia, and government to co-create solutions.
• Policy and Advocacy: Championing policies that support language development and inclusive education.

Our Partnership Principles

• Mutual Respect: Every collaboration is a two-way street where we listen as much as we lead, and all contributions are honoured.
• Equitable Co-Design: We co-design initiatives with our partners and the communities we serve, ensuring solutions are tailored to real needs.
• Lasting Sustainability: We aim for enduring impact, building local capacity and creating solutions that continue to evolve long after an initial project ends.
