Moving forward. Together.
About Kiungo
Kiungo believes that social change is hard work, and needs the coordinated effort of many different types of people and institutions. We seek to support problem-solvers and change-makers to imagine and design at the scale of the problem, and respond to change and learning while they are getting things done. We curate unusual collaborations and build collective leadership so that all of us, together, can help make change happen, and last.

Learning Hub
Making change at scale
There is a substantial difference in scaling and growing. Spring Impact breaks it down in an accessible way. Bridgespan provides a simple visual on different approaches to scale.
Critical insights on systems change
What on earth is this system change that everybody keeps talking about. These two guides are some of our favourites. One from Donella Meadows who is often considered one of the seminal thinkers in this space and from FSG, who came up with the iceberg visual you might be familiar with. Great introductions to the topic and not too long either.
Scaling with government
Spring Impact is focused on scaling with the government and has provided a clear accessible guide on how you can do this.
Transforming public systems
Inspired by our collaborators JustSystems , we think trust is the currency of change. Our key findings are a must read for anyone seeking to make big change happen and last.
Bringing politics into the equation
Here’s a simple guide to think and work politically in practice designed for people in the social change sector.
Bringing learning to life
Learning is the most important skill we need in navigating complexity and making big change happen. Co-Impact provides a powerful resource on bringing learning to life in systems change initiatives.
Leading together
All of the important work we do is carried by powerful leaders. We believe in collective leadership that facilitates everyone to step into their leadership roles to make change happen. Teach4All has a powerful guide on collective leadership in education.
Leadership for collectives
Any good collective, collaboration, network, coalition needs a backbone leader. And our friends at the Collective Impact Forum have codified this role powerfully.
Building the field
Field-building is a great way to start thinking about impact at scale and how to do it.
The art of coming together
Priya Parker is well known for her book The Art of Gathering and she has created this excellent guide to help boost any convening you are planning.
Coming together across difference
The Obama Foundation and Search for a Common Ground came together to create this powerful toolkit on navigating conflict and polarization, or working with people you disagree with.
