  3. Partnerships and Exchanges • Partnerships are associations between organisations which provide related services or serve a similar target population with multiple or severe or great needs that single handedly, one organisation may not satisfy. Therefore, in partnerships organisations complement each other. • ACTV has been part of numerous partnerships and exchanges over the years. The partnerships have been in service provision, advocacy against torture, ACTV staff and organizational capacity building, training of security agencies, health workers, community leaders and the media .

  7. Lessons Learnt Partnerships and exchanges lead to many benefits for the partner organizations which finally reflect in the services clients receive, examples: • Partner organizations are able to confine themselves to particular services/ specialized services hence high quality services provided. • Staff and organizational capacity development leading to more effective service delivery. • There is better information sharing in areas of interest, e.g. regional problems and opportunities among partners, thus higher awareness of clients’ needs and available opportunities. ACTV

  8. Lessons Cont. • More credibility/authenticity of researches and research findings • There is a stronger voice in lobbying for policy change, e.g. the torture bill into law in Uganda during the last 3 years. • Partnerships maximize quality of services and conversely lower service costs. • There is security in numbers, torture being a sensitive subject ACTV
