Global Partners for Development is a small nonprofit based in Petaluma, California, that works to advance locally led initiatives aimed at improving education and public health in East Africa. The organization relies on partnerships with local communities, leaders, and school management committees to identify real needs and choose effective strategies, prioritizing dignity and empowerment. Its approach centers on collaborating with schools to implement development projects that link educational attainment to village and family advancement. Operating in the non-profit sector, GPFD positions itself as a facilitator of locally driven development, seeking sustainable solutions developed with communities rather than imposed from outside. A recent development is its August 2023 partnership with D Prize to expand the identification and support of local changemakers in low-income regions.
