From Transactional to Transformational Social Impact Partnerships, How Can We Partner More Effectively?

A3 Going back to the importance of longevity and ongoing dialogue, even when you’re in a bi-lateral partnership, your extended networks are critical to making the change you want to see happen, because no matter how skilled and credible both parties are, there will inevitably be other organisations beyond the partnerships who hold most credibility with local stakeholders and can make your efforts go further. For example, our global partnership with Save the Children is 6 years old, but we’ve been working together for over 10 years; and CARE International and GSK have been working in partnership since 2011. We have sought to leverage our broader NGO relationships wherever we can.
