Abstract
Collaboration among donors is increasingly popular in the field of international development. The objective of the study was to systematize lessons-learned and improve partnership processes. IDRC created a tool to facilitate assessment of selected partnerships through: (1) a series of factors that influence institutional and interinstitutional communication and consequently, partnership effectiveness; and (2) the specific stages of partnering to understand when each factor comes into play. The study shows that the communications factor has an important and persistent influence on partnership health throughout the stages of a project.
