Working with the OneText Initiative
Join the broad alliance pursuing a just, equitable, democratically pluralist, and socio-economically stable Sri Lanka.
Co-create impact
We design initiatives with partners who share our commitment to inclusive, evidence-led political dialogue.
Safeguard trust
Confidentiality, conflict sensitivity, and Chatham House principles shape the way we work with every collaborator.
Deliver continuity
From agenda design to post-dialogue follow-through, our teams stay with partners for the long haul.
OTI endeavours to form the broadest possible alliance on achieving its vision — “a just, equitable, democratically pluralist and socio-economically stable Sri Lanka.” Here are the pathways through which organisations and individuals collaborate with us.
Joint projects & programmes
OTI entertains joint proposals from likeminded organisations and individuals through an intense review process for relevance, credibility, feasibility, and inputs vs outputs/outcomes.
The confidentiality of the proposals until implementation agreements are signed, and ownership of the concepts, will be strictly respected.
Pitch a joint proposal →Funding of projects & programmes
OTI operates on external funding from foreign governments, international foundations, development partners, the business community (CSR project funding) and philanthropists. It exercises great care in selecting funding sources. If you are interested in exploring component, full project, or core funding opportunities, contact us and you will be connected for verification purposes.
Discuss funding alignment →Consultants (voluntary)
OTI is supported by a dedicated and vibrant team of top-level professionals and experts from across the world with tested competencies. If you are interested in joining our voluntary expert network, send us your detailed CV and a note on how you would like to contribute.
Share your expertise →Internships
Interns work alongside our facilitation and research teams, contributing to programme design, stakeholder engagement, and impact measurement. Placements are offered on a short-term (2 weeks to 3 months) or mid-term (3 to 6 months) basis.
Interns also liaise with political stakeholders from across the spectrum, gaining rare exposure to consensus-building in action.
Send statement of purpose & CV →Post-graduate researchers
OTI provides post-graduate research supervision, guidance, practical training, and assistance for thesis writing through academics and practitioners with authority in related subject disciplines. Share the synopsis of your proposed research and detailed CV for us to connect with you.
Submit research synopsis & CV →Research and drafting, on demand
We provide the following services to international agencies, political parties, national and local authorities, and likeminded organisations. Nominal fees applicable.
