Keystone’s strategies are based on our theory of change and our analysis. We pursue two strategic workstreams:
1. Demonstrate Constituent Voice and relationship metrics in practice
- Run pilots with funders and implementing agencies
- Develop practical tools, including shared or field-wide tools
- Contribute to related initiatives
- Develop a standard protocol for feedback data
- Reflect our values and approaches in our own work
2. Influence key actors and decision-makers
- Inform system-level mechanisms such as standards, rating and certification
- Engage in relevant debates and media
- Build a network of organizations and people concerned about these issues
- Publish our analysis, tools, research and case studies. (See also the research hypotheses we aim to contribute to.)
- Periodically reflect with key decision-makers on our theory of change, performance and strategies
We also consider practical and financial issues when deciding which projects to work on.
