Summary:

Partnerships are essential to our work but what makes a good partnership? This guide looks at best practice in developing, sustaining and disbanding partnerships. This guide aims to help NGOs become more supportive and effective partners to Southern NGOs and to the communities they serve. Underlying supportive partnership are values: this guides helps us clarify what values drive our partnerships, and the skills, techniques and approaches we need to make those partnerships productive and fulfilling. The issue of power dynamics in partnerships is key: we explore how power is apportioned in our partnerships, and why this is important in working with our Southern partners.
