Partnering Guidebooks
Improving and mainstreaming the practice of partnering globally requires a dedicated process of learning from experience, researching partnering activity and best practice, and capturing new knowledge as well as developing new frameworks for understanding and communicating about partnering effectively.

Produced as part of the SDG Partnership Accelerator, this guidebook aims to demystify the concept of the added-value partnerships can bring, as well as the value organisations can gain from partnerships, and provide a process and tools to help maximise value for all. The guide also offers what we believe is the first attempt at a comprehensive framework to define Collaborative Advantage (the intrinsic power partnering can bring) and the associated Partnership Delta (the extra value partnerships can create).
