Leadership: Partnership:

o An association of two or more people as partners

o The act of leading a group of people or an organization

Partnerships through Leadership

52

Partnerships through Leadership

Leaderships skills are very important to achieve partnerships.

Partnerships can be developed for different aims: humanitarian help, social change, environmental sustainability, transparency, accountability, advocacy and investments.

53

Partnerships through Leadership

Partnerships develop with various leaders in different sectors:o Telecommunicationso Infrastructureo Financeo Healtho Human rightso Philanthropy

An open source marketplace, to enable sharing of best practices and non-financial resources. Such a centralized platform could provide a convenient mechanism for donors and investors to make capital available to prospective NGOs and entrepreneurs within a transparent environment.

o Global community-of-learning portal, using cross-sector collaborations to develop innovative solutions to global problems

o It will serve as a catalyst and synergist: validating, activating, and replicating innovative collaborative solutions (ICSs).

o The GNICS will leverage academic excellence to inspire and educate a global community-of-learning on the promise and practice of ICSs.

o The GNICS will provide a virtual platform for:

e-learning

Network of Experts for sharing expertise

Marketplace for social programs and projects

54

Crazy Idea: Partnerships Portal – a Global Network for Innovative Collaborative Solutions?

An all encompassing online platform - by sectors, regions and countries - which will provide access to information and lessons learned on e-learning; sharing expertise; and a search engine for projects in the social sector, in order to facilitate socially responsible investments.

Leading world institutions, scholars, and leaders will be engaged to share their experiences and best-practices for the benefit of others

The Portal will assemble the experience in a coherent and structured format, providing guidance to those who are thinking about cross-sector collaborations for the first-time and insights from those who have worked with them for years.

55

How will the Portal Work?

Provide a tool that allows subscribers to conduct a rapid and accurate search of relevant partners or topic areas at the national, regional or international level

Compile and categorize simplified corporate, philanthropic or organization missions and areas of focus

Provide news and information that is not widely publicly available, in a easily digestible format

Provide partnership tools and templates to facilitate rapid and successful start-ups

56

Why Should I Work with the UN? Changing global environment requires new
