Introduction: Roles of UK partners


Public Sector

Government can help support partnerships by acting as a catalyst for the initiation of new projects and supporting delivery through its international presence. Local government and other public sector agencies can support capacity building by sharing their direct experience of implementation.

Business

The initiative will help businesses to engage with the communities in which they work or plan to work and help create healthy and sustainable conditions in which they can continue to operate successfully. The partnership can help business to deliver corporate social responsibility programmes which have real and broad impact, are sustainable and have the potential to be replicated and scaled up.

Civil society

Civil society is an important contributor to the strength of the partnership, bringing expert knowledge and practical experience of project design and implementation within this region. Many NGOs have direct in-country knowledge and can act as a bridge to locally based groups and communities whose enthusiasm and commitment will often be critical to successful implementation and sustainability.
