BEST PRACTICE AND RESEARCH EXAMPLES

Partnerships can provide a range of important benefits for partnership participants, the organisations involved and for the community generally. We have sourced a number of best practice and research examples from around the world and will continue to add to this as we find them.

The Partnering Handbook

Strong, viable partnerships don’t just happen. They need to be understood, properly developed and well maintained. Skills, knowledge and experience are required when we bring people together to form useful and productive partnerships. Many of us do not feel confident in each and every aspect of partnering or, if we do, we may not be able to share our knowledge effectively with others. The objectives of this book are to help people learn more about what partnerships are and to offer suggestions about how to be effective in them. It provides tools and tips to enhance partnerships, and outlines what is needed to move forward together.

" People working in partnership can overcome challenges and achieve outcomes that would not have been possible if each partner acted alone."
