Endearing Myths, Enduring Truths: Enabling Partnerships
< Introduction Previous | Next Tri-Sector Partnerships >

 
     

The Preview

This Preview is the first of three BPD-wide communication initiatives in Phase Three. It has been based on interviews with the Cluster coordinators and a review of documentation. It therefore provides an initial view of, and insights into, the lessons emerging across BPD’s four Clusters:

  • The practical rationale for trisector partnerships
  • The process of partnership development and partnering
  • Key success factors for business, civil society, and governments to achieve mutual gains from working in partnership
  • The emerging costs and benefits of trisector partnerships as vehicles to manage and promote sustainable development
  • How to recognize when a trisector partnership can be the right approach

A second BPD-wide report during this final phase will offer more in-depth analysis of lessons learned, including those about BPD as a whole as well as the specific partnerships on which the Preview has focused. There will also be an external evaluation of BPD to offer additional insights.
