About Stepin

Our Partners

Stepin mobilises communities. Our partners make sure there is somewhere real for those communities to go.

Confirmed partners

Three partnerships that make the pathway possible.

Stepin is an implementing and mobilising organisation. We are only useful if what we mobilise people towards actually exists. These partnerships are what turn a conversation in a community into an appointment with a qualified professional.

How partnership works

Both sides bring something the other cannot.

Stepin provides
  • Community mobilisation and trusted access
  • Outreach into places clinical services cannot easily reach
  • Cancer education in local languages
  • Implementation capacity on the ground
  • Honest community feedback, including what is not working
  • Monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement
Partners contribute through areas such as
  • Technical and clinical expertise
  • Institutional support and credibility
  • Professional networks
  • Programme collaboration and co-design
  • Resources
  • Funding, where applicable

Only contributions that have been formally agreed are ever described as confirmed.

Become a partner

We are looking for the partners the next four years need.

Hospitals, government institutions, universities, researchers, corporates, media houses, NGOs, professional bodies and international development organisations.

What a first conversation looks like

  1. You tell us what you are trying to achieve, and where.
  2. We tell you honestly whether Stepin is the right partner for it.
  3. We agree what each side brings, and how success will be measured.
  4. We write it down — including what happens if it is not working.
  5. We report back, on schedule, with real numbers.
