      "Pivot Collective is a South African <strong>social enterprise comprising two legally distinct but closely aligned entities: a consulting company and a non-profit organisation</strong>. We work across regions to co-create knowledge, foster collective learning, and support community-led action in health and development. Our work is grounded in care, equity, and partnership, and guided by the belief that those most affected by systemic injustice should shape the decisions, evidence, and systems that impact their lives.",
      "A central part of our work involves transforming how knowledge is created and used. We call this knowledge translation, but we mean something deeper than simplifying research or disseminating findings. For us, it involves co-creating knowledge with communities, valuing lived experience as expertise, and building meaningful pathways to action.",
      "From our base in Cape Town, we work as a global collective of researchers, facilitators, implementers, and activists. Together, we bring academic, lived, and practice-based knowledge into conversation to support youth- and community-led research and learning."
