Institutional Partnerships
Build evidence-led programmes with MMK.
MMK Consult welcomes institutions interested in structured collaboration, research co-production, capacity building, technical assistance, field evidence, market intelligence, SME support, policy research and programme delivery across African markets.
This pathway is for organisation-to-organisation collaboration and possible MOU discussion. It is not an individual partner application, job application, volunteer form, advertising request or sponsorship-only request.

MOU expression of interest
Institutional Partnership / MOU Expression of Interest
Use this form if your organisation wants to explore a structured collaboration with MMK Consult. It helps us understand your institution, proposed partnership area, expected contribution, governance readiness and whether an MOU or project-specific agreement is appropriate.
This is a focused partnership expression of interest. Detailed governance, data protection, budget and MOU questions can be reviewed after MMK confirms strategic fit.
What happens after submission
MMK reviews institutional fit and may request a concept note, profile, registration documents or meeting. If aligned, both parties discuss scope, responsibilities, governance, confidentiality, budget, data sharing and MOU terms. No collaboration is binding until a written MOU or agreement is signed.
