International

Working across borders to help make a better world

As the world grows smaller, human activity increasingly has global impact. As global citizens, we work closely with local experts and bring stakeholders together across disciplines, borders, and cultural perspectives to address the world’s most urgent needs.

In the Global South, these efforts are focused primarily on education, public health, community and economic development, human rights, and capacity building for indigenous organizations and stakeholders. In the Global North, the emphasis is on achieving more effective resource allocation and on improving the practices and policies of government agencies and NGOs.

Leveraging on-the-ground experience, we support local partners in developing and implementing projects, help donors understand opportunities, and take relevant practices to the next level through a multi-stakeholder lens.

“TCC was enormously helpful in mapping just exactly what we expected of an investment in a coalition or a network, what needs to be in place, and the capacities to achieve the desired outcomes.”

Nancy MacPherson, Former Managing Director, Evaluation, The Rockefeller Foundation (2008-17 tenure | Quoted on 6.27.18)

“TCC Group had the adaptability to hone in on our precise needs. They were able to pitch the input and the quality of the input at exactly the level that was required—easy to use but still conceptually very rich, without being overly complex.”

Stuart Coupe, Monitoring & Evaluation Manager, Hand in Hand International

How We Can Help

Strategy

Sound strategy is grounded in a deep understanding of your core purpose, capacity to achieve change, and collaborative relationships with others. From diverse perspectives on your international work, we help you clarify your mission, vision, and values—then we collaboratively chart the course to realize your goals.

Evaluation & Learning

We’re often engaged to evaluate international work. All our evaluation services take a customized approach—using a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods—to harness evaluation and learning for your diverse stakeholders. We provide actionable insights and build internal capacity to carry on learning efforts.

Capacity Building

Along with strong leadership, sound management, effective tools, adaptability, and a values-driven culture, accomplishing your goals takes collaborative muscle. We help you identify your strengths and opportunities for growth to determine how you can best partner with others to achieve your shared aims.

Grantmaking & Foundation Management

We work with funders on a wide variety of giving programs. Our experienced staff members design, develop, implement, and manage grantmaking efforts. We help you administer grants efficiently, communicate with grantees and grantseekers, and align your grantmaking with other funder objectives.

Initiative Design & Implementation

Tackling complex international issues demands integrated action, informed by deep listening, intentional engagement, critical analysis, and bold approaches. To help you achieve your goals for lasting impact, we design integrated initiatives: strategic endeavors that meaningfully choreograph multiple program components and are responsive to community needs.

Stakeholder Engagement

Relationships are essential for impact. We help you build authentic, expansive, and productive relationships with the stakeholders critical to your international work. We begin with stakeholder mapping, plan your strategy for engagement, identify the touchpoints for ongoing and fruitful partnership, and bolster feedback loops.

Strategic Communication

At all stages of international work—designing a complex initiative, embarking on an organizational change in direction, or creating a suite of materials—strategic communication is essential. We create communication plans that make your voice heard, identifying your messages, messengers, audiences, and channels.

Governance

An engaged and effective board helps ensure you’re achieving your mission. We work with international organizations of all sizes, helping define the role of the board and advising on issues of its composition, structure, tenure, performance, and sustainability.

Theory of Change, Indicators & Measures Development

Surface the hypotheses and assumptions underpinning your work. How will you get from here to your goals? We lay out the steps by which your work will lead to impact. Articulating a Theory of Change and indicators of success are essential to establishing a shared vision for priorities, evaluation, partnerships, and resources.

Landscape Analysis

We have deep experience with organizations working in the international landscape. We map the key players, relationships, and trends essential for your unique mission. We collect data and connect you to the perspectives of diverse actors—including those most impacted within the community. We help you find the most effective ways you can make a difference.
