The Partnership Ideal
A partnership is a dynamic
relationship pursuing joint
goals and objectives
through shared
understanding of the most
rational division of labor
based on the comparative
advantages of each
partner.
A partnership balances
organizational identity and
mutuality in a reciprocal
framework of respect,
decision-making,
accountability, and
transparency.
Organizational Identity and Mutuality
• Organizations with a strong identity
– Remain consistent, committed, and accountable, as well as
responsive to their mission, core values, and constituencies.
– Maintain characteristics—chiefly comparative advantages—
reflective of their organizational type or sector.
• Mutuality is characterized by
– Equality in decision-making
– Resource exchange
– Reciprocal accountability
– Transparency of decision-making
– Shared respect
– Risk-sharing

Why Enter into Partnerships?
Mutual Interest—To pursue common or mutually beneficial goals and
objectives that would not otherwise be attainable
Accessing resources—To access resources, including knowledge, that
would not otherwise be available

Evolution of Partnerships
Initial conditions in a partnership are important but …
It is important to recognize that partnerships are dynamic and interactive.
The learning strategies adopted by partners evolve over time: this leads to
different outcomes in terms of inter-organizational learning.
Successful partnerships evolve and grow in interactive cycles of learning,
re-evaluation, and readjustment.
Partners evaluate the partnership in terms of efficiency, equity, and
adaptability.
If the partners have positive experiences of symmetrical learning, each
learning cycle will reinforce the positive relationship and lead to higher
levels of mutual commitment.
What are Knowledge Partnerships?
Definition
A knowledge partnership is a
partnership that has a
particular emphasis on the role
of knowledge in accomplishing
the goals and objectives of the
partners, including the sharing
of knowledge, the generation
of new ideas and
understanding, and the
communication and application
of that knowledge beyond the
partnership itself.
Capacities
Knowledge partnerships ought
to be good at efficient search
for data, information, and
knowledge; rapid
dissemination; efficient small-
world reach to collect and
connect with others and
resources; building adaptive
and flexible capacity; and
resilience to shock or change.
Specific Functions of Knowledge
Partnerships
• Organizing and managing information that is worth paying attention to.
Filtering
• Taking new, little-known, or little-understood ideas, giving them weight,
and making them more widely understood.
Amplifying
• Offering a means to give members the resources they need to carry out
their main activities.
Investing and Providing
• Bringing together different, distinct people or groups of people.
Convening
• Promoting and sustaining the values and standards of individuals or
organizations.
Community-Building
• Helping members carry out their activities more efficiently and effectively.

Success Factors for
Knowledge Partnerships
• Coordinators are active and committed, give space to others,
act as leaders of the cause the partnerships stands for, build
connections, facilitate relationships, and make good use of
resources.
• The partnership relies on a core group of coordinators with
complementary skills and usually include a governing
committee, secretariat, and working groups.
Informal Leadership

among members.
Alignment and
Identity
Success Factors for
Knowledge Partnerships
• Cooperation increases when the roles of individual
members are defined.
• The partnership is able to tap the technical expertise
and professionalism of members and connect them to
the higher purpose it stands for.
• The partnership offers possibilities for individuals to use
their knowledge outside the organizations to create
new knowledge and spark energy for change there.
• The partnership is recognized by stakeholders as a place
to visit or consult for deep expertise.
• Resources come in various forms: in-kind, grants,
member funding, etc. "Sweat" equity is the key to most
successful partnerships.
Technical Expertise
and Resources
Success Factors for
Knowledge Partnerships
• Coordinators are both task- and relationship-oriented.
• Coordinators focus first on serving partnership
members. They earn and maintain the commitment of
members by ensuring that the partnership responds to
explicit (not constructed) needs.

exchanges to gather intelligence, and establishes "space"
for data, information, and knowledge.
• The partnership reinvents its working forms as needed.
Adaptive Capacity
Definitions of
Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring is the systematic and continuous assessment of progress of
an activity over time which checks that things are going according to
plan and enables positive adjustments to be made.
Evaluation is the systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or
completed activity, including its design and implementation.
The aim of evaluation is to determine the relevance, effectiveness,
efficiency, impact, and sustainability of an activity.
An evaluation should provide information that is credible and useful,
enabling the incorporation of lessons learned into the decision-making
process of the relevant organization.
OECD-DAC Evaluation Criteria
Relevance—Examines to what extent the objectives of an intervention
match the priorities or policies of major stakeholders, including
beneficiaries
Effectiveness—Examines whether outputs led to the achievement of the
planned outcome
Efficiency—Assesses outputs in relation to inputs
Impact—Assesses what changes, intended and unintended, have
occurred as a result of the intervention
Sustainability—Looks at how far any changes are likely to continue in the
longer term
Monitoring and Evaluating Learning
in Partnerships: Relevance
RelevanceCriteria
Relates to whether or not
the goals and objectives of
the partnership are suited to
the priorities and policies of
the partners and those that
the partners wish to
influence, and is aligned
with broader development
priorities. Evidence
Partners can clearly
articulate the goals and
objectives.
Partners align the goals and
objectives of the
partnership with defined
needs of audiences and
clients.
Partners discuss,
understand, and share
purpose, scope, and
expectations.
Partners define, assess, and
locate complementary skills,
experience, knowledge,
resources, and influence.
All partners understand
their respective strategic
directions.
Partners raise awareness of
the partnership among staff.
KeyQuestions
Did the partnership have a
clear, shared purpose to
meet defined needs?
Has the partnership helped
each organization achieve
more than they could on
their own?
Did the partnership help
each partner define its own
areas of influence more
clearly?
Monitoring and Evaluating Learning
in Partnerships: Effectiveness
EffectivenessCriteria
Refers to the extent to
which the partnerships
attains its goals and
objectives.
Evidence
Partners plan joint activities
and knowledge products
that lead toward the
outcome.
Partners establish ground
rules for collaboration.
Partners identify and foster
champions.
Partners use a variety of
methods for networking and
knowledge exchange.
Partners ensure sustained
engagement of their
leadership.
KeyQuestions
Did the partnership have a
clear outcome identified?
Were there processes,
infrastructure, and
resources with sufficient
flexibility in place for quality
exchange of knowledge and
experience, regular
communication and
meetings, and
communicating beyond the
partnership?
Did you mutually agree
upon a framework for
monitoring work over time?
Monitoring and Evaluating Learning
in Partnerships: Efficiency
EfficiencyCriteria
Measures the qualitative
and quantitative outputs in
relation to the inputs.
Attention should be given to
alternative approaches to
achieve the same outputs,
and the extent to which the
partnerships made optimal
use of all available
resources.
Evidence
Partners discuss strengths
and weaknesses concerning
how they will organize
themselves to deliver
outputs.
Operational document lays
out what each partner will
do, and how resources will
be allocated and shared.
Clearly defined activities,
timelines, and
responsibilities for the
delivery of outputs.
Ensure that processes are in
place for delegating the
authority to individual
partners to act and adopt,
for accountability, and for
conflict resolution.
Partners understand the
capacities and constraints of
each partner organization. KeyQuestions
Did partners explore
different delivery options,
including whether a
partnership is the best
approach?
Were the necessary
resources available, properly
allocated, and well-matched
for planned activities?
Was there a scope for
adjustment of processes,
activities, and resources
during the lifespan of the
partnership?
Was there clarity on
management of the assets
(funds, intellectual properly,
and brand) of the
partnership?
Monitoring and Evaluating Learning
in Partnerships: Impact
ImpactCriteria
Refers to the positive and
negative changes produced
by the partnership activities,
directly or indirectly,
intended or unintended.
The impact should be
examined at two levels: (i)
the contribution that the
partnership as a whole
makes to the attainment of
development priorities; and
(ii) the improvement of each
partner's institutional
capacity to have impact.
Evidence
Knowledge exchange is
focused on solutions.
Peer-to-peer learning is
facilitated.
Communication tools are
used to extend the reach of
the partners.
Strengthening relationships
and capacity building with
audiences and clients is a
priority.
KeyQuestions
Has the outcome led to
impact?
Are people outside of the
partnership aware of the
knowledge generated and, if
so, how are they using it?
Have the partners'
capacities increased as a
result of the partnership?
Did the partnership have
flexibility for the unexpected
to emerge?
Monitoring and Evaluating Learning
in Partnerships: Sustainability
SustainabilityCriteria
Consists of two
components: (i) the
likelihood that the
achievements of the
partnership will be
sustained; and (ii) the
sustainability of the
partnership itself which
considers four dimensions:
(a) relevance —whether the
goals and objectives of the
partnership is still relevant;
(b) relationships—whether
the partners are still active;
(c) resources—whether
resources are available; and
(d) time—whether the
partnership has given itself
sufficient time to achieve its
purpose or if continuation is
necessary.
Evidence
Transparent discussions are
held on current and future
resources.
Partners are aware of
evolving organizational and
development priorities.
Partners make an effort to
co-evolve and explore new
activities.
Partners are committed to
open and generous sharing
of expertise and resources.
The staff responsible for
implementing the
partnership's activities are
recognized for their efforts.
KeyQuestions
How likely is it that the
outcome of the partnership
work will be sustained?
Should the partnership itself
be sustained and, if so,
how?
What motivated each
partner to join and continue
to participate?
How effective were the
mechanisms to jointly
reflect, learn, and adapt
over the life span of the
partnership?
Basic Data Required to Monitor
Learning in Partnerships
Basic data on learning in partnerships should be monitored to
facilitate the evaluation process:
Learning
activities (what
knowledge-
sharing and
learning
activities were
carried out?,
how often?, to
what quality?, at
what cost?)
Partners'
engagement in
learning
activities (who
was involved?,
at what levels of
engagement?)
Learning
outputs (what
new knowledge
was created?,
what knowledge
was shared?,
what knowledge
products were
produced?, what
was the quality
of the
products?)
Obstacles (what
obstacles to
knowledge
sharing and
learning were
encountered?,
how were they
overcome?)
Partnership
arrangements
(what
arrangements
have facilitated
learning in the
partnership?)

  • 2. The Partnership Ideal A partnership is a dynamic relationship pursuing joint goals and objectives through shared understanding of the most rational division of labor based on the comparative advantages of each partner. A partnership balances organizational identity and mutuality in a reciprocal framework of respect, decision-making, accountability, and transparency.
  • 3. Organizational Identity and Mutuality • Organizations with a strong identity – Remain consistent, committed, and accountable, as well as responsive to their mission, core values, and constituencies. – Maintain characteristics—chiefly comparative advantages— reflective of their organizational type or sector. • Mutuality is characterized by – Equality in decision-making – Resource exchange – Reciprocal accountability – Transparency of decision-making – Shared respect – Risk-sharing
  • 4. Partnerships as Collaborative Relationships Extension (Low, Low) Co-optation (Low, High) Contracting (High, Low) Partnership (High, High) Mutuality LowHigh Organizational Identity Low High
  • 5. Why Enter into Partnerships? Mutual Interest—To pursue common or mutually beneficial goals and objectives that would not otherwise be attainable Accessing resources—To access resources, including knowledge, that would not otherwise be available Effectiveness—To provide more products, services, processes, methods of delivery, etc. Efficiency—To lower costs, produce higher input/output ratios, or increase economies of scale or scope Legitimacy—To enhance reputation and credibility Stability—To overcome uncertainty through risk-sharing Necessity—To obey mandated law, regulation, etc.

  • 32. Checklist for Effective Learning in Partnerships—Opportunity Opportunity —Formal and informal "space" for learning • The partners communicate regularly in a productive and mutually supportive way. • Tools and mechanisms are used to surface, share, and generate new knowledge (i.e., joint after-action reviews, meetings, workshops, seminars, retreats, etc.). • Knowledge sharing and mutual learning are integrated in the partnership management cycle.
  • 33. Evolution of Partnerships Initial conditions in a partnership are important but … It is important to recognize that partnerships are dynamic and interactive. The learning strategies adopted by partners evolve over time: this leads to different outcomes in terms of inter-organizational learning. Successful partnerships evolve and grow in interactive cycles of learning, re-evaluation, and readjustment. Partners evaluate the partnership in terms of efficiency, equity, and adaptability. If the partners have positive experiences of symmetrical learning, each learning cycle will reinforce the positive relationship and lead to higher levels of mutual commitment.
  • 34. What are Knowledge Partnerships? Definition A knowledge partnership is a partnership that has a particular emphasis on the role of knowledge in accomplishing the goals and objectives of the partners, including the sharing of knowledge, the generation of new ideas and understanding, and the communication and application of that knowledge beyond the partnership itself. Capacities Knowledge partnerships ought to be good at efficient search for data, information, and knowledge; rapid dissemination; efficient small- world reach to collect and connect with others and resources; building adaptive and flexible capacity; and resilience to shock or change.
  • 35. Specific Functions of Knowledge Partnerships • Organizing and managing information that is worth paying attention to. Filtering • Taking new, little-known, or little-understood ideas, giving them weight, and making them more widely understood. Amplifying • Offering a means to give members the resources they need to carry out their main activities. Investing and Providing • Bringing together different, distinct people or groups of people. Convening • Promoting and sustaining the values and standards of individuals or organizations. Community-Building • Helping members carry out their activities more efficiently and effectively. Learning and Facilitating
  • 36. Some Benefits from Knowledge Partnerships Increased access to knowledge, experience, resources, and connections Shared learning Shared good practices Fostered creativity and innovation Increased business process efficiencies Increased visibility of concerns and issues Strengthened capacity to advocate and influence policy More effective responses to complex realities and scaled-up impact Reduced isolation and increased credibility Mitigated risks
  • 37. Clarify the goals and objectives Define the roles and responsibiliti es of each partner Set up mechanisms to resolve conflicts of interests or partner disputes Generate means to share information Adopt principles of consultation: • Engaging one another • Instituting reliable partnership arrangements • Focusing on corporate interest, not positions or personalities • Practicing transparency • Using effective communication channels • Using existing networks • Developing capacity • Adjusting processes • Inviting independent evaluation Ground Rules for Establishing Knowledge Partnerships
  • 38. Designing Learning into Partnerships Assess and value partner knowledge Determine knowledge accessibility Evaluate knowledge tacitness and ease of transfer Establish knowledge connections between the partners Draw on existing knowledge to facilitate learning
  • 39. Managing Collaborative Learning in Partnerships Articulate processes for collaboration Articulate processes for knowledge generation and sharing Articulate processes for communications beyond the partnership Put in place mechanisms for monitoring and evaluation
  • 40. Success Factors for Knowledge Partnerships • Coordinators are active and committed, give space to others, act as leaders of the cause the partnerships stands for, build connections, facilitate relationships, and make good use of resources. • The partnership relies on a core group of coordinators with complementary skills and usually include a governing committee, secretariat, and working groups. Informal Leadership • The partnership connects individuals across functions, locations, and organizations and create "space" for learning, creativity, innovation, and development of joint practice. • The partnership fosters the emergence of collective identity among members. Alignment and Identity
  • 41. Success Factors for Knowledge Partnerships • Cooperation increases when the roles of individual members are defined. • The partnership is able to tap the technical expertise and professionalism of members and connect them to the higher purpose it stands for. • The partnership offers possibilities for individuals to use their knowledge outside the organizations to create new knowledge and spark energy for change there. • The partnership is recognized by stakeholders as a place to visit or consult for deep expertise. • Resources come in various forms: in-kind, grants, member funding, etc. "Sweat" equity is the key to most successful partnerships. Technical Expertise and Resources
  • 42. Success Factors for Knowledge Partnerships • Coordinators are both task- and relationship-oriented. • Coordinators focus first on serving partnership members. They earn and maintain the commitment of members by ensuring that the partnership responds to explicit (not constructed) needs. • Coordinators create a gift culture by mentoring and coaching. They encourage activity and interaction among members of the partnership and build networks to foster a sense of community. • Coordinators provide technical advice and scan the environment for opportunities to advance the partnership's goals and objectives and benefit its members. Coordination
  • 43. Success Factors for Knowledge Partnerships • The partnership has significant capability to use information and communication technologies to facilitate rapid and broad-based interaction among members. • The partnership strengthens and supplements online communications with face-to-face interactions. Communication Systems • Coordinators have the analytical and adaptive capabilities needed to anticipate and respond to changing circumstances. • The partnership invests in information and communication technologies, relies on information exchanges to gather intelligence, and establishes "space" for data, information, and knowledge. • The partnership reinvents its working forms as needed. Adaptive Capacity
  • 44. Definitions of Monitoring and Evaluation Monitoring is the systematic and continuous assessment of progress of an activity over time which checks that things are going according to plan and enables positive adjustments to be made. Evaluation is the systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or completed activity, including its design and implementation. The aim of evaluation is to determine the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability of an activity. An evaluation should provide information that is credible and useful, enabling the incorporation of lessons learned into the decision-making process of the relevant organization.
  • 45. OECD-DAC Evaluation Criteria Relevance—Examines to what extent the objectives of an intervention match the priorities or policies of major stakeholders, including beneficiaries Effectiveness—Examines whether outputs led to the achievement of the planned outcome Efficiency—Assesses outputs in relation to inputs Impact—Assesses what changes, intended and unintended, have occurred as a result of the intervention Sustainability—Looks at how far any changes are likely to continue in the longer term
  • 46. Monitoring and Evaluating Learning in Partnerships: Relevance RelevanceCriteria Relates to whether or not the goals and objectives of the partnership are suited to the priorities and policies of the partners and those that the partners wish to influence, and is aligned with broader development priorities. Evidence Partners can clearly articulate the goals and objectives. Partners align the goals and objectives of the partnership with defined needs of audiences and clients. Partners discuss, understand, and share purpose, scope, and expectations. Partners define, assess, and locate complementary skills, experience, knowledge, resources, and influence. All partners understand their respective strategic directions. Partners raise awareness of the partnership among staff. KeyQuestions Did the partnership have a clear, shared purpose to meet defined needs? Has the partnership helped each organization achieve more than they could on their own? Did the partnership help each partner define its own areas of influence more clearly?
  • 47. Monitoring and Evaluating Learning in Partnerships: Effectiveness EffectivenessCriteria Refers to the extent to which the partnerships attains its goals and objectives. Evidence Partners plan joint activities and knowledge products that lead toward the outcome. Partners establish ground rules for collaboration. Partners identify and foster champions. Partners use a variety of methods for networking and knowledge exchange. Partners ensure sustained engagement of their leadership. KeyQuestions Did the partnership have a clear outcome identified? Were there processes, infrastructure, and resources with sufficient flexibility in place for quality exchange of knowledge and experience, regular communication and meetings, and communicating beyond the partnership? Did you mutually agree upon a framework for monitoring work over time?
  • 48. Monitoring and Evaluating Learning in Partnerships: Efficiency EfficiencyCriteria Measures the qualitative and quantitative outputs in relation to the inputs. Attention should be given to alternative approaches to achieve the same outputs, and the extent to which the partnerships made optimal use of all available resources. Evidence Partners discuss strengths and weaknesses concerning how they will organize themselves to deliver outputs. Operational document lays out what each partner will do, and how resources will be allocated and shared. Clearly defined activities, timelines, and responsibilities for the delivery of outputs. Ensure that processes are in place for delegating the authority to individual partners to act and adopt, for accountability, and for conflict resolution. Partners understand the capacities and constraints of each partner organization. KeyQuestions Did partners explore different delivery options, including whether a partnership is the best approach? Were the necessary resources available, properly allocated, and well-matched for planned activities? Was there a scope for adjustment of processes, activities, and resources during the lifespan of the partnership? Was there clarity on management of the assets (funds, intellectual properly, and brand) of the partnership?
  • 49. Monitoring and Evaluating Learning in Partnerships: Impact ImpactCriteria Refers to the positive and negative changes produced by the partnership activities, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended. The impact should be examined at two levels: (i) the contribution that the partnership as a whole makes to the attainment of development priorities; and (ii) the improvement of each partner's institutional capacity to have impact. Evidence Knowledge exchange is focused on solutions. Peer-to-peer learning is facilitated. Communication tools are used to extend the reach of the partners. Strengthening relationships and capacity building with audiences and clients is a priority. KeyQuestions Has the outcome led to impact? Are people outside of the partnership aware of the knowledge generated and, if so, how are they using it? Have the partners' capacities increased as a result of the partnership? Did the partnership have flexibility for the unexpected to emerge?
  • 50. Monitoring and Evaluating Learning in Partnerships: Sustainability SustainabilityCriteria Consists of two components: (i) the likelihood that the achievements of the partnership will be sustained; and (ii) the sustainability of the partnership itself which considers four dimensions: (a) relevance —whether the goals and objectives of the partnership is still relevant; (b) relationships—whether the partners are still active; (c) resources—whether resources are available; and (d) time—whether the partnership has given itself sufficient time to achieve its purpose or if continuation is necessary. Evidence Transparent discussions are held on current and future resources. Partners are aware of evolving organizational and development priorities. Partners make an effort to co-evolve and explore new activities. Partners are committed to open and generous sharing of expertise and resources. The staff responsible for implementing the partnership's activities are recognized for their efforts. KeyQuestions How likely is it that the outcome of the partnership work will be sustained? Should the partnership itself be sustained and, if so, how? What motivated each partner to join and continue to participate? How effective were the mechanisms to jointly reflect, learn, and adapt over the life span of the partnership?
  • 51. Basic Data Required to Monitor Learning in Partnerships Basic data on learning in partnerships should be monitored to facilitate the evaluation process: Learning activities (what knowledge- sharing and learning activities were carried out?, how often?, to what quality?, at what cost?) Partners' engagement in learning activities (who was involved?, at what levels of engagement?) Learning outputs (what new knowledge was created?, what knowledge was shared?, what knowledge products were produced?, what was the quality of the products?) Obstacles (what obstacles to knowledge sharing and learning were encountered?, how were they overcome?) Partnership arrangements (what arrangements have facilitated learning in the partnership?)
