Collaborate
PAJE Founder Rosalind Helfand takes a collaborative approach towards consulting — from the local to the global. PAJE aims to move the needle towards a future where people and our planet are healthy and thriving. PAJE works at the nexus of biodiversity, climate, health, justice and equity.
PAJE engages with diverse partners and stakeholders, including governments, NGOs and communities from the local to global levels to:
- Design and implement: Policies, strategies, programs that are innovative, timely and equitable
- Engage for transitions: Planning and stakeholder mapping, outreach and inclusion
- Create lasting connections: Build and guide networks, coalitions, and “super coalitions” using a systems leadership approach
- Facilitate: Participatory workshops, discussions, evaluation and reflexive processes
- Empower: Pathways for local leadership and communities to be included and drive big solutions
- Connect biodiversity, justice, and climate: Workshop solutions that embody values of social justice while protecting and restoring nature and addressing climate change
- Evaluate and improve: Programs, approaches, and proposed solutions
