Overview
In the search for institutional models that can deliver more and better development outcomes, partnership is among the most popular solutions proposed. But the evidence of partnerships' contributions to actual performance has been for the most part anecdotal. Partnership for International Development bridges the gap between rhetoric and practice, clarifying what the concept means and providing a roadmap for how to achieve meaningful partnership results. The discussion is enhanced by case studies of partnerships for public service, corporate social responsibility, and conflict resolution.Synopsis
Partnership, says Brinkerhoff (public administration, George Washington U.) is the polite term for minimizing the responsibility of government in development projects. She seeks to clarify the concepts and its practice, to critique the understanding and practice of it in international development to date, and to specify its defining dimensions. Annotation c.
