“Even the best partnerships in theory will fail in practice if, for example, there is no trust in a partnership.”
Partnership criteria – How to move toward impact in practice
Examples of partnership criteria:
-
Sharing expertise: Partners will contribute with and share expertise not available in the other respective organisation. Partners will agree on what expertise will be shared, by whom, and what process of sharing will be used (e.g. communication channels, timeliness, confidential or public, respective resource and capacity investments, etc.). Partners will also have an implementation plan for how this expertise will be used to drive impact.
-
Brand: Partners will be selected based on the credibility of their brand and adherence to an organisation’s principles and ethical ways of working. This will include a risk-assessment of whether partnering could undermine the impact an organisation aims to achieve (e.g. weakening the ability to advocate against child labor, if a partner has subsidiaries or engages directly in child labor; or not being able to communicate about the adverse health effects of alcohol, if a partner is an alcohol company).
-
Trust: Partners agree to communicate transparently, to their best knowledge, in a timely manner, and benefiting mutual trust and the common impact agreed for a partnership. Communication should be institutionalised, and not be limited to individuals only. A communications plan should include a process in case misunderstandings, focal point transitions, crises, or external shocks arise and corrective or rapid action is needed. An explicit exit plan with criteria (e.g. time, breach of contract, failure to deliver on agreements, etc.) should be agreed before a partnership is finalised.
-
Who benefits: Partners must agree on common impact goals before finalising a partnership agreement. These impact goals should clearly identify who or what the end beneficiary of investments and collaboration should be, and how successes and impact will be measured. Interim goals and a timeframe should be included to guide the tracking of progress.
-
Costs: Partners should clearly outline what resources and capacity will be used to deliver on partnership goals, and when these resources will be invested. How will external costs be covered or shared (e.g. implementation costs, events and publications, or engaging further partners)?
