Focussing specifically on partnerships between business and NGOs, this paper aims to play its part in:

• Revealing partnership potential;
• Addressing the challenges that working outside one’s comfort zone invariably brings; and
• Pushing forward the partnering agenda so that it starts to have significantly more sustainable impact.

The paper considers the partnering landscape from a global perspective and explores the differing experiences of partnerships of NGOs and business. Though both sectors understandably have concerns, the benefits of collaboration provide an increasingly compelling case.
