Overview of Tools
The GRSI’s tools are informed by global experiences and designed to be flexible to fit local or national contexts. Our tools include reflective activities and questions, while avoiding prescriptive solutions.
The GRSI works to make as many materials as possible available in multiple languages. Our materials are often made available in German, Spanish, Portuguese, and French as well as English.
The GRSI Guidebook
The GRSI Guidebook provides guidance to help government officials, civil society organizations and community members understand the detailed policy and operational building blocks of community sponsorship programs and assist them in designing programs adapted to their own contexts. The Guidebook draws on community sponsorship learnings from Canada, New Zealand, and Italy as well as many more.

Developed with inputs from government authorities and civil society organizations from around the world, the Workbook is a tool that can be used during policy design workshops, or as a supplement to such workshops.

A slide deck leads evaluators through the process while an accompanying workbook with exercises allows for actors to reflect on their own programs.
