Partnerships

Community partnerships allow organizations and educational institutions to share responsibilities by engaging in meaningful ways, while actively involving all parties to reach shared goals.

NZANC Ideal Partnership is:

1. A mutually beneficial relationship with a shared vision for producing transformative change at local and/or national levels.
2. Based on trust, mutual respect, transparency, empathy, and accountability between the partners.
3. Envisioned from the beginning to be sustainable beyond an initial project cycle, with a view toward long-term collaboration, mutual benefit, and mutual capacity building.
4. Founded on clarity of purpose, with clear contributions to society.
5. Based on engagement of partners at the beginning, in which objectives, activities, resource mobilization and resource allocation plans are developed jointly.
6. Built on a foundation of solid partnership principles and values, which produces a structure that reinforces accountability and maintains clear auditing, a structured work plan and measures, and also personnel and resources that are appropriate, nationally focused, and culturally sensitive.

 Our community will take a collaborative approach to building relationships. We will seek to understand the priorities of our partners first with a view to forming strong, intergenerational relationships. Where necessary we will formalise our partnerships through relationships accords that will set out our shared principles, outcomes, and ways to measures success.
