[i] Architects of Cooperation are enablers and partners of Member Associations - they listen; learn; make connections for them to develop and grow; leverage expertise that exist in Member Associations and help share that expertise with others across the Federation; Knowledgeable about country context and Member Associations capacity, they acknowledge successes, identify challenges and interrogate where progress is needed, when delivery is at risk and IPPF values undermined. Member Associations get to the nub of what individual Member Associations can benefit from and ensure they are part of driving the agenda, so that IPPF really adds the value they want, and increases their impact for people.
