Principles of Partnership
As part of our ongoing approach to quality improvement, we have developed Principles of Partnership to support health partnerships, and to improve the quality and effectiveness of what they do.
1
Strategic
Health Partnerships have a shared vision, have long-term aims and measurable plans for achieving them, and work within a jointly-agreed framework of priorities and direction.
2
Harmonised & Aligned
Health Partnerships’ work is consistent with local and national plans and complements the activities of other development partners.
3
Effective & Sustainable
Health Partnerships operate in a way that delivers high-quality projects that meet targets and achieve long term results.
4
Respectful & Reciprocal
Health Partnerships listen to one another and plan, implement and learn together.
5
Organised & Accountable
Health Partnerships are well-structured, well-managed and efficient and have clear and transparent decision making processes.
6
Responsible
Health Partnerships conduct their activities with integrity and cultivate trust in their interactions with stakeholders.
7
Flexible, Resourceful & Innovative
Health Partnerships proactively adapt and respond to altered circumstances and embrace change.
8
Committed to Joint Learning
Health Partnerships monitor, evaluate and reflect on their activities and results, articulate lessons learned and share knowledge with others.
9
Embed Equity & Inclusion
Health Partnerships consider unequal power relations and inequalities experienced by individuals as a result of their social identities and take action to ensure equity and inclusion are embedded in their work.
10
Committed to Climate Action
Health Partnerships proactively contribute to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
