Activities
Each cluster undertook specific activities, details of which can be found on the individual cluster's website. However,
each cluster used some variant of the following
activities.
Workshops
Initial roundtable or workshops took place in each country with a focus
project. The objective was to present the focus project, to analyse it within the
context of the government's development strategy, and within the context of
other partnerships for development within that country.
Study Visits
Study visits provided an opportunity for partnership project practitioners to
work laterally with their global peers in the focus projects. This practical
forum offered cross-fertilization of ideas and exchange of experiences, with
follow-up commitments.
Training
A range of training options were available for focus projects, which included:
partnership formation; participatory project management; conflict
prevention/resolution; options for local partnership agreements; operating
procedures for local government for working in partnership with community
organizations and the private sector. In many cases, this training was integrated
with the study visit programme.
Research
Each BPD cluster undertook research on agreed
priority topics, often in collaboration with another participating organization. For further information, please see the individual websites.
