Align your commitment with a region on the move

Supporting BI-WÔRI is not about buying short-lived visibility. It means placing your organisation within an authentic community movement, close to a large young population, in a framework that is rigorously governed and honestly evaluated.

What you gain

Shared value, not just a logo

The organisations that succeed over time in rural and regional areas are those that have earned legitimacy there. The festival offers a rare setting in which to build it.

  • Meaningful proximity to the communities, young people and women of Gontougo.
  • Local legitimacy through association with a project led by the villages themselves.
  • Demonstrable impact through monitored and published indicators.
  • A secure commitment backed by a formal agreement and a joint monitoring committee.
  • CSR alignment with youth employment, inclusion and environmental goals.

Partner questions

How are funds monitored?
Every partnership is covered by a written agreement, overseen by a joint monitoring committee and backed by documented supporting evidence. Details.
Can I support a specific activity?
Yes — that is the purpose of the "dedicated operational partner" category: your support is allocated to one activity and you follow its results.
What impact data will I receive?
The indicators on the Impact page, distinguishing targets, estimates and measured results.
Is in-kind support possible?
Yes: equipment, transport, technical or media services are valued in the same way as financial contributions.
