What We Know About Collaboration: the ECB Country Consortium Experience
Published on 5 October 2012
Drawing on more than three years of practical experience of collaboration and learning, the ECB Project has released a new resource, “What We Know About Collaboration: the ECB Country Consortium Experience.”
Developed through multiple recommendations from international and national staff working in the five ECB consortia countries, this document discusses the benefits and challenges of collaboration. It identifies ten key factors for success, along with practical suggestions and recommendations. Areas covered include defining common aims and objectives; clarifying roles and responsibilities; funding the process; and managing crisis within the consortium.
This learning resource can be used to develop a consortium or for strengthening an existing collaboration among emergency response agencies and other key partners. Audiences for the resource include humanitarian and emergency staff working for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other stakeholders including UN institutions, local partners, communities, government actors and academia.
For more information please download the resource in English, French or Spanish.
