The Partnering Initiative (TPI) was initiated in 2003 with the passionate belief that only through systematic, effective collaboration among business, government, NGOs, the UN, foundations and others can the world achieve a collective, all-of-society vision of thriving societies underpinned by a prosperous economy and a healthy environment.
With roots going back to 1990, TPI is the world’s longest-established organisation dedicated to achieving that vision. Internationally recognised as a pioneer of the field, TPI works to develop standards for professional partnering and build the capacities and supportive structures to unleash the power of partnership to deliver transformational sustainable development.
TPI uniquely spans a spectrum of influence from the highest levels of international policy at the UN through to practice with partnering managers on the frontline. Our foundational concepts, frameworks and tools have helped to shape and define the field of multi-stakeholder collaboration.
