Statistics Without Borders (SWB) is a global not-for-profit organization that leads pro bono projects in partnership with international not-for-profit and non-governmental organizations. To date, SWB has completed over 250 projects, with recent projects supporting organizations in Afghanistan, Canada, Haiti, India, Nigeria, the United States, and Zimbabwe. One challenge of these projects is to build trust with our client organizations and the communities we aim to help. We'll walk through two pro bono projects that SWB has completed, emphasizing how we built trust with these clients and communities. We'll also cover systems that SWB has put into place to sustainably build trust for every project. Our goal is that you will come away with specific ideas of how you can build trust in the context of international development.
