This holistic approach toadvocacy and change is pursued in partnership with civil society as the change agents. In practicalterms, IBIS works primarily in partnership with civil society organisations (CSOs) in its programmecountries to develop innovative solutions/approaches to development challenges in Governance(under which WAHRD falls) and Education sectors. IBIS programmes are designed within theframework of what is called the Thematic Programme (TP).
