The Logica-MV Foundation-Hivos Partnership Study: 'Beyond Philanthropy...'
We proudly present the case study of the Logica-MV Foundation-Hivos Partnership: ‘Beyond Philanthropy…’. In 2007, Hivos formed a partnership with Logica, a global IT company, and the MV Foundation, an Indian organisation working to abolish child labour. This NGO–business partnership, lasting four years, engaged highly skilled Logica consultants from the Netherlands and India to work with MV Foundation to develop a management information system and child monitoring system. This partnership has contributed to the improvement of the quality of life of Indian children who have been abused and exploited.
Formerly, the relation between the private sector and civil society was often based on philanthropy. Nowadays, participating organisations move from the traditional philanthropic and transactional relationships to one that is more integrative. The Logica-MV Foundation-Hivos Partnership is an example of a partnership moving ‘Beyond Philanthropy.’
From the believe that documenting and sharing experiences of this partnership can be valuable for all individuals and organisations that are open to considering the
merits of NGO–business partnerships in the non-governmental, public, and
private sectors, we executed this case study. In the case study we share the journey and experiences of this NGO–business partnership: from the rationale for engagement, field experiences and challenges, to issues of scale and sustainability.
