Partnerships

1)  Partnerships are based on the comparative advantage of each partner. The achieve a greater whole than the sum of the individual contribution of partners. They enable partners to reach objectives that they could not achieve on their own.


2) Partnerships involve various stakeholders: multilateral organizations, financial institutions, NGOs, corporations and governments. While business brings technical and market know-how to the table, civil society broadens the legitimacy of partnership and brings its knowledge of local communities.


3) AHRH forms partnership with socially responsible corporations interested in putting their resources, to the service of UN values and such mandates as postconflicts national reconciliation, human right, environmental management, job creation and training, and the promotion of economic growth in developing countries.


4) To be successful partnership must give all partners responsibility for formulation and implementation of part of the partnership. Each partner must be acknowledged for its contribution and given due credit. All partners must benefit, which implies that the private sector must benefit.


5)  Financially direct or indirectly in the short or the long term corporations are in business to make profit. They ought to expect partnerships to have a positive impact on the bottom line.


6)   Private sector partnership are not a substitute for fundraising. They must give the private sector a substantive role through the sharing of expertise, technology, ideas training, or other non-contributions. Partnerships are about working and implementing projects together. If certain partnership proposals have a fundraising of resource mobilization component, this should be a by-product not to raise funds from private sector unless both party are engaged in joint project.


7) Partnerships are entirely separate from procurement contracts. They do not require competitive bidding because they do not imply the granting of a contract to a corporation. Business benefits from gaining access to new opportunities in the direction of a corporation - not from obtaining procurement contracts from any of the Governments or UNOPS. Partnerships are always non - exclusive.
