Partnerships
Partnering is easy to talk about but invariably somewhat harder to undertake.
It requires courage, patience and determination over time. It is rarely a ‘quick fix’ solution to a problem and can sometimes be a frustrating and disappointing experience - falling short of initial hopes and expectations.
But it does not have to be this way. There is mounting evidence from many partnership initiatives under development in different parts of the world that such cross-sector collaboration can be highly effective and sustainable when it is designed, developed and managed in a systematic way.
