Multi-stakeholder partnerships (MSPs) is an approach that allows a more effective collaboration among multiple actors. MSPs have become increasingly popular for addressing the complex issues of sustainable development.

This workshop will offer an introduction of what are MSPs, opportunities and challenges of working with MSPs; it will provide a framework to support healthy and successful MSPs; highlight practical tools to effectively engage with MSPs and tackle sensitive issues; and illustrate how to use MSPs to maximise individual and collective outputs. The workshop will have a highly interactive nature by using actively participants’ own experiences in partnerships and collaborative processes. It will feature two cases, one from Uganda and another from Sweden.

The workshop will set aside time to discuss about what works, and what does not work well in designing and facilitating MSPs.

This event will be streamed via SIANI Facebook page. Join us on the day!
