This book is about partnerships between the private sector, government and civil society. Its objective is to share practical experiences in establishing and implementing such partnerships and to show how partnership work. The focus is on the oil, gas and mining industries, as these sectors have tended to be the primary drivers of foreign investment in developing counties. These corporations increasingly operate in regions characterised by poor communities and fragile environments. The more effective use of external relationships to ensure the effective contribution of these investments to poverty reduction and local environmental management is critical, for the companies, for government, and for the poor.
Putting Partnerships to Work is based on the work of the Secretarial of the Natural Resources Cluster (NRC) of Business Partners for Development (BPD). This major research programme, which ran from 1998 to 2002, aimed to enhance the role of oil, gas and mining corporations in international development. The programme objective was to produce practical guidance, based on the experience of specific natural resource operations around the world, on how partnerships involving companies, government authorities and civil-society organisations can be an effective means of reducing investment risks and of promoting community and regional development.
Recenzijas
This book helps substantially in clarifying the partnership idea. It focuses on partnerships in which business and industry have a leading role. This is a book for everyone who is interested in the follow-up of the WSSD: companies, social partnerships, governments and NGOs. Even more widely, this is a book for all those who are concerned about making the reduction of poverty a reality. - International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 5 September 2006
One of the most definitive studies on partnerships to date ... Lots has been said about the benefits of partnerships over corporates going it alone, but rarely is this accepted wisdom fleshed out. - Corporate Citizen Briefing, June/July 2004
... an extraordinary account of four years of very significant work in partnerships and is without doubt an enormously important contribution to developing literature in this field. - The Corporate Citizen Vol. 4 Issue 2 (2004)
This excellent book ... has brought, to development literature and development practitioners, a rich and textured source of practical information and advice on how to put effective partnerships together. It provides direction on necessary conditions for effective partnerships, how to make partnerships thrive, the key pitfalls to avoid, and the the ways to monitor the partnership during development and implementation. For those in the private sector, government and civil society who are trying to address poverty and development challenges, this book is an exceptional business and development tool. - Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management Vol. 7 No. 1 (March 2005)
Putting Partnerships to Work is about how partnerships work, the types of outcomes that can be achieved, and the necessary conditions for partnerships to be successful. - UNEP Industry and Environment, October-December 2004
