    North-South/South-South CSORelations

    - Premised on cross-border intl solidarity but reality is that ofunequal relations of the dominant Northern CSO often leading topatron-client relationship

    - CSO partnerships should adjust to needs and circumstances ofinherently weaker partner and reduce partnership demands-fiduciary, project mgt., program sustainability, etc.

    - Building equal partnerships require an enlightened approach ofaffirmative action providing allowances to weaker partner

    CSO partnerships should provide enabling support starting withcore financial support to ensure effective operation of CSOs whosemembers cant sustain operations
