• The aim: ‘surround the child' with care, ensuring access to a range of high-quality services which will provide a foundation on which a child can thrive as a child and then as an adult. Its strategy is to strengthen local and district level systems, develop effective referral processes and promote improved collaboration at all levels, between projects and local civil society, regional districts and national government

The benefits of collaboration
“In my experience these kinds of initiatives are borne out of people who have the courage to look at familiar problems in a different way, and who can engage others to come on board. There were key individuals associated with each of the four funding agencies who instinctively knew that existing approaches to tackling HIV simply weren't delivering well enough. The conversation between these individuals evolved over a period of time until we had some sense of what a different approach might look like.” Richard Graham Comic Relief

The Waterloo Coalition
• In 2011, The Fund and The True Colours Trust each provided £300,000 towards a time limited initiative to significantly improve access to palliative care in Malawi and Kenya, to help strengthen government health systems to deliver sustainable palliative care.
• Other members of the Coalition: the African Palliative Care Association, the Global Access to Pain Relief Initiative, the International Children's Palliative Care Network and the Worldwide Palliative Care Alliance, each of whom provided technical support and expert advice.
• The Coalition funded the Kenya Hospice and Palliative Care Association (KEHPCA) and the Palliative Care Support Trust in Malawi led by Umodzi

Integration at local structural level
• “There are many different priorities for us and not many resources. Being shown what palliative care is and why this will help make services better is good. We need to know how palliative care can be offered without using a lot more resources and how doing this will help the local people.” (senior manager)

…and national level
•“STEP UP is helping us get things done faster. They are our friend. Instead of doing things slowly ourselves, STEP UP is helping us go quickly… We work together.” (government official from Malawi)
![Page 18: How funders’ perspectives have helped to shape the field a reflection Paediatric Palliative Care Funders’ Meeting Rome 1 st December 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eb35503460f94bbad02/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Advantages
• Potentially game-changing• Can take a more holistic approach which is
needed due to the complexity• Working at scale, gives an ability to influence
the bigger players• a wealth of knowledge, experience and contacts
within a collaborative that can make the whole greater than the sum of its parts
• it makes it easier for grantee organisations only having to deal with one body
![Page 19: How funders’ perspectives have helped to shape the field a reflection Paediatric Palliative Care Funders’ Meeting Rome 1 st December 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eb35503460f94bbad02/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Limitations
• Need to have good in-country partners
• Capacity
• Political and economic environment
• Cannot move more quickly in most areas than its partners
• May not always agree with partners on the strategy
![Page 20: How funders’ perspectives have helped to shape the field a reflection Paediatric Palliative Care Funders’ Meeting Rome 1 st December 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649eb35503460f94bbad02/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Global Lessons of this approach
• Benefits of a strategic approach
• Need to work with existing structures
• Choose the right partners
• Look beyond pc for partnerships and allies
• Be tenacious and persistent
• Use your advantages as a funder
• Resource it
