𝐃𝐄𝐏 𝟏 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲: 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭, 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫

In DEP 1, we were fortunate to walk alongside 𝟔 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐇 (𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬), 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐂𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚 (𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚), 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚 𝐁 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 (𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐚), 𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 (𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬), 𝐅𝐨𝐆𝐒 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 (𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚), 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐇𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐒𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞) — local delivery partners, CSOs, NGOs, and impact-driven organizations — who brought the DAO Experimentation Program closer to real communities on the ground.

Throughout the Execution Phase, our partners didn’t just “support” from the sidelines. They actively contributed by:

• Sharing honest reflections and insights from their local contexts
• Offering timely feedback to DAO members during execution
• Amplifying DEP stories and learnings on their own platforms and community walls
• Bridging DAO initiatives with communities who may never have heard of DAOs before

As one partner beautifully put it, “we cannot do everything alone.” And that spirit defined DEP 1 partnerships — collaboration across borders, sectors, and time zones.

💬 During the partners journey, we reflected not only on what worked, but also on challenges and how stronger communication and deeper networks can help DAOs collaborate more effectively in the future.

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all DEP 1 partners for walking with us, sharing your voices, and helping turn decentralized ideas into grounded action.

✨ We look forward to continuing this journey together in DEP 2.
