Abstract
Despite the widespread assumption that partnerships are effective, there is limited systematic evidence of a link between partnership and improved development outcomes, with a widespread lack of clarity regarding how best to ascertain the effectiveness of partnerships. Their rigorous evaluation is an emerging field of study. Hence this review engages with the relevant literature and provides an initial foundation for analysis. In recognition of the complexity and ambiguity surrounding partnership evaluation, three sets of initial framing questions are outlined along with five foundational issues in order to provide a clear platform from which to operate.
