Abstract |
In relief and development assistance, “partnership” is a term with many meanings and forms—from alliances to contracts to grantor-grantee relationships. Partnerships result from the growing conviction that solving a society’s problems requires a combined effort of diverse institutions, including the alignment and combination of competencies and functions. Partnership brings together parties with very different objectives, resources and incentives around shared goals and equitable allocation of authority, efforts and resources. The international aid system now recognizes and even encourages partnerships, but provides little to no real guidance on how to equitably create and function in a partnership. |
