The Partnering Initiative and United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Division for Sustainable Development Goals present the practical guide “Maximizing the impact of partnerships for the SDGs”.

Launched in July 2018, this guidebook aims at supporting organizations and partnerships to maximize the value created by collaboration towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The guidebook deconstructs what “value” means and the types of value that partnerships can create. It also explores the range of partnerships that can be established and how the nature of the partnership influences the type of value created for the partners and for beneficiaries.

Understanding these issues in greater detail should support organizations in the process of identifying, designing and managing effective partnerships that deliver the greatest value, and to think more ambitiously and creatively about how they partner. Download the report here.
