The SCALE Webinar Series (SWS) is pleased to announce the topic of this month’s webinar: ‘Managing Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships and Collaboration in Implementing Development Projects: Experience of PIND’

Development Projects are becoming increasingly complex in terms of implementation as more funders and implementers are seeing that they cannot go it alone to make the desired impact and ensure sustainability. This most often times call for partnerships and collaborations to achieve mutual and individual objectives. However, if the partnerships and collaboration are not well structured and rules of engagement are not clear, the partnership may head for mutually assured collapse leaving the ultimate beneficiaries in a state of despair and the feeling of dashed hopes.

Various theories and proponents of partnership and collaboration have said that it is important to understand and adhere to the principles of partnership and collaboration to get the best out of it. To learn more about this we have the singular honour and privilege to learn from the head of an organization who has mastered the art of multi-stakeholder engagement lead the discussions.

He is no other person than the Executive Director, Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta, Mr. Tunji Idowu.
