More Than Connections. Meaningful Exchange That Strengthens Organisations.

Networking on I-EMeRG is designed to go beyond introductions. It creates structured spaces where social impact organisations, practitioners, and experts engage around shared challenges, learn from lived experience, and build relationships that translate into better programs, stronger systems, and collective growth.

Designed for Ongoing Engagement, Not One-Time Interaction

Networking on I-EMeRG is organised through multiple, complementary formats that allow members to engage at different levels with different objectives and intensities and at different points in time.

Thematic Learning Circles

Members can join curated thematic circles based on their interests and organisational priorities—such as program management, fundraising, leadership, governance, M&E, or sector-specific themes. These circles enable regular interaction, shared learning, and experience-based discussions facilitated by practitioners.

Peer Networking Groups

Peer groups bring together NGOs at similar stages of growth or working in comparable contexts. These spaces encourage honest exchange, practical insights, and mutual support—helping organisations learn from what others are doing, adapting what works, and avoiding common pitfalls.

Consultative Workshops & Roundtables

I-EMeRG facilitates consultative workshops and roundtables on specific themes or sector-wide questions, where members collectively explore challenges, share practices, and surface insights that benefit the wider community.

Expert & Practitioner Dialogues

I-EMeRG hosts interactive sessions with experienced practitioners and sector leaders who share insights drawn from real field and organisational experience. These allow participants to ask questions, reflect, and learn through dialogue.

Annual NGO Summit

I-EMeRG convenes an Annual NGO Summit that brings together member organisations, practitioners, experts, and ecosystem actors for focused reflection, learning, and collaboration. The summit creates a shared space to engage with emerging sector themes, exchange practices across contexts, and collectively explore pathways for stronger organisations and sustained impact.
