Abstract
A stronger commitment to partnership and cooperation is needed to achieve current Sustainable Development Goals. The presentation explores dimensions of partnerships between Canada and the United States and the differing contexts (public and private sectors) of international development aid. Research funding agencies in both the U.S. and Canada include provisions for collaborative work. Recommendations for these agencies suggest how to foster collaborations between academics and practitioners; how to develop and offer resources that help researchers identify what impact is and how to achieve it; and methods to encourage sharing of information.
