|
The use of intersectoral partnerships (ISPs) as a development tool is expanding rapidly as the development community increasingly recognizes the importance of institutions that combine market, governance, and voluntaristic characteristics. ISPs strengthen individual organizations within each sector, offer a mechanism to resolve specific development issues, and can lay the foundation for broader, systemic change. With collaborative action, government, business, and civil society can take advantage of creative synergies and achieve outcomes that are impossible for any one of them to achieve alone. This web site provides information on what ISPs are, why they are an important development strategy, and how donors and other organizations can facilitate their growth. This web site will also be used as a clearinghouse to store new information about the development and success of ISPs.
