Partnership-strengthening strategy

Voluntary collaborative action requires continuous effort to sustain and strengthen the LP itself. Just as important as planning the technical aspects of ILM is a partnership strengthening strategy. This may build on findings from a capacity or performance assessment. Partnership and leadership strengthening may include actions such as enhancing collaboration, restructuring organizations, engaging new partners, building trust, enhancing negotiation and other skills, improving communications, increasing transparency, sharing leadership roles, building multi-generational leadership or mobilizing financial support. The leadership team or LP membership as a whole can periodically assess progress in partnership strengthening.

Participatory Gender Training for Community Groups

  • Co-design

This manual contains everything required to conduct a three-hour participatory gender training workshop.

This manual will enable landscape partners to reflect around their capabilities, value systems and existing practices to make suitable contributions and become effective partners in intervention processes. The activities and discussions in this training arose from science-based learning theories, with the intent of radically flattening predominant top-down communication structures.
