RPSF’s matching program connects expert volunteers in communications and public relations with local organizations in developing countries, providing online support over a period of three to six months.

Referred by a partner ICO and matched with professionals from RPSF-recognized associations, these organizations receive pro bono support to develop a communications plan, create tailored tools, or benefit from strategic coaching. Grounded in an ethical approach, the program draws on the UN’s sustainable development principles and the foundations of development communication — strengthening organizations’ visibility, enhancing their public perception, and driving tangible change.

    RPSF assesses the need.
  • The local organization, the expert, and RPSF develop a work plan together.

  • The local organization and the expert collaborate for 3 to 6 months, during which RPSF oversees and evaluates the match.

Testimonials

In 2020, the National Institute of Public Hygiene (INHP) was able to rely on the expertise of Public Relations Without Borders (PRWB) to contribute to a public health crisis management situation resulting from rabies caused by stray dogs. This partner, who came to support us on a volunteer basis, was greatly appreciated. Their experts knew how to listen and understand our reality, and recommended an action plan that was suited to our reality.

PRWB has been collaborating closely on CECI missions for a few years now. Its strategists support our partners on a volunteer basis, both remotely and on the ground, at the heart of their realities. The resources who team up with us have diverse areas of expertise, and the heartfelt commitment of each and every one of them is worth highlighting.

Despite the pandemic, the economic independence of youth (particularly women from disadvantaged areas of Morocco) remained highly relevant. However, we had to take a different approach to our communications. The addition of a community management platform, which offered the ability to host training content, was very useful. But the full support in facilitation and training provided on a volunteer basis by PRWB contributed greatly to its success and the continuation of the project.
