Trained partnership brokers are operating in all these countries
What is Partnership Brokering?
Partnership brokers are those who support partnerships by the skilled management of the partnering process.
Multi-stakeholder collaboration is now widely seen as vital to creating a more sustainable world. But such collaboration (commonly known as ‘partnership’) is hard to build, manage and scale up without expertise that helps to navigate what is inevitably a complex and challenging process.
In 2000, we evolved the term ‘partnership broker’ to describe those who support partnerships by the skilled management of the partnering process. Since 2003, we have offered professional development and skills training for those operating as partnership brokers to enable them to fulfil the function effectively.
