1. The reminder of the course: a Global Impact Project is not “one more project”
The morning began with a simple and structuring reminder: a Global Impact Project is not intended to create a new organization in addition to the others.
It is a federative architecture that aggregates what already exists, to enable the organizations involved in it to:
- secure and strengthen their capacity for action,
- obtain additional funding centered on their mission,

A Global Impact Project is not a list of activities either. It is not a catalogue. It is not a juxtaposition of intentions.
It is a single central project, designed to cross silos, in order to enable organizations with different cultures and mandates to work together without structural overload.
2. 2026 progress: from the architecture discussed to the written sketch
Another point was recalled regarding the stages already completed and those to come.
After the clarification and sizing phases, the projects are now beginning to enter the written sketch phase.
This is a major shift: when a project is written down, it becomes readable by a third party.
And from that moment on, it no longer exists only for those who already understand it. It must exist for:
- an organization considering joining,
- an institution seeking consistency between mandate and partnership,
- a funder who wants to understand what is financeable, why, and under what conditions.
This is why the sketch is not an atmospheric text.
It is a series of structuring documents, a stage resulting from an organized professional pathway.
3. Writing the sketch: a professional effort that must be remunerated
The Director of the Geneva Forum, [Thomas EGLI->auteur7], recalled that producing a high-quality sketch is advanced engineering work.
It is not simply a matter of “putting w
