Colin WalshGUEST
So going back to the question of like, how do people discover Cevatas and how do they learn to use the platform? So we early on started building relationships, what we call, you know, sort of the trust community.

Colin WalshGUEST
There's a group of refugee-led organizations and a community-based organization that helps connect them called Cohere that works throughout East Africa.

Colin WalshGUEST
I would say that it's a very broad and deep ecosystem of partners that are trying to tackle issues of displacement around inclusion.
Colin WalshGUEST
And so we've had just starting with multilateral organizations such as the World Bank or UN agencies like UNDP and UNHCR and IOM have been very supportive of some of the work we've been doing and have been extremely helpful.
Colin WalshGUEST
We've also worked with many NGOs, as I mentioned, some of the NGOs like the Norwegian Refugee Council, the Danish Refugee Council, the International Rescue Committee, others that we've been collaborating with.
Colin WalshGUEST
We've collaborated with universities, so we have a great partnership.
