These guidelines have been written to guide donors and partners through the process of gathering information, making the decision to divest, securing buy-in internally for divestment, engaging with your partner and other stakeholders, developing your divestment plan, communicating your plan, and addressing any child safety concerns.
Linked to these guidelines are case studies of donor and partner organisations who have gone through the process of divestment and shared their learning and experience.
The process of transition and planned closure is described in detail in the Phases of Transition Interactive Diagram. These guidelines assume donors/partners are already familiar with the Phases of Transition Interactive Diagram and the concept of transition in general.
If that is not the case, you may want to press pause and visit the Phases of Transition Interactive Diagram first. These guidelines build on the Phases of Transition Diagram, providing more in-depth insight and guidance into the divestment pathway.
