This article recounts the field visit of Patrick Saah, Integrated Programme Director of World Vision DRC, to Kwango Province from 8 to 11 July 2025. It highlights key stages of the mission: engagement with local communities, monitoring of ongoing projects (health, education, agriculture, youth empowerment, and savings groups), partner discussions, and identification of operational challenges. Through powerful testimonies and quotes from the Director, the article underscores the impact of World Vision’s interventions on children and families, while emphasising the importance of community dialogue, transparency, and local ownership in building sustainable solutions.

As World Vision we have recently paused to reflect on the meaning of the word “partnership”, starting from the word etymology - “sharing or partaking in anything”. Over the years, the organisation has indeed shared its pathway with strategic and operational stakeholders at local, regional and international levels.  And yet, research conducted into the origins of WFP and WVI partnership has unveiled that there is nothing quite like the three-decades-long journey shared by the two organisations.
