Partnerships have clear, stable governance structures that are not over reliant on individuals

 

Tools

Project planning template and Guidance

Your project plan (also known as a logframe) is the road map for your partnership's project. It details activities, short-term and long-term objectives, and how you plan to monitor your progress. It is crucial that all those involved in the delivery of the project understand it and how they are contributing to the project's objectives.



There are two parts to this resource: the project plan template; and a guidance document on how to complete the template.

Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning plan

The partnership between Central and Northwest London and Mirembe Hospital, Tanzania (described in the case study above) divides its project work into strands with a responsible person(s) for each strand. Your project plan and monitoring, evaluation, and learning plan will help you to define the different project strands and division of responsibilities.

How to take minutes

The case study above, 'Governance structures in Dodoma and London', describes the partnership's good practice in governance, which includes having various project committees. The committees ensure their discussions and decisions are recorded accurately and transparently through good minuting of their meetings and sharing minutes. This Wiki on how to take meeting minutes offers generic good practice advice which you can apply to your own health partnership. We are always looking for ways to improve the resources we provide to health partnerships so if you would like to offer an alternative source of guidance on this topic, please contact a member of the THET team.
