What is a Partnership? • A partnership is a relationship where two or more parties, having compatible goals, form an agreement to share the work, share the risk and share the results or proceeds. • Partnership implies the sharing of decision-making, risks, power, benefits and burdens. It should add value to each partner's respective services, products or situations. • In partnerships, there is give and take.
Partnering – Who & How WHO: • Start with stakeholders who are directly related to issue—water and sanitation, health and hygiene, private and public, donors and implementers • Expand to: • other channels of influence, e.g. faith-based groups, women’s groups, local and national associations, farmer’s groups, youth groups • groups with potential long-term impact, e.g. schools • all possible information channels, e.g. journalists HOW: • Make individual relationships (friendships) within these groups (need friends and advocates in each group), not just institutional relationships. • Treat each group with respect.
Partnering – Systems Examination Examine the systems and ask: “What needs to be done to turn you into a partner with an active or passive influence on the targeted audience?” • Training? • Institutional strengthening? • Capacity building? • Expansion of reach? • Other?
Partnering – Roles & Responsibilities What We Must Do • Communicate • Collaborate • Coordinate • Compromise • Combine WHY to ensure scale coverage and overlap of hardware, hygiene promotion, and enabling environment interventions
