activities & results
• Pooled funding – money
• Common administration – services
• Lessons learned – knowledge
• Shared governance – decisions / oversight
![Page 7: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Establishing a PP
• A PP is established by establishing itself.• Those wishing to be the ultimate PP authority
designates themselves as the ultimate authority.• Usually through a constitutive document.
– E.g., charter, governance terms, instrument• Which comes first, partnership or charter? Both.
– One begets the other when partners adopt governing terms and constitute themselves as a defined partnership.
![Page 8: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What’s in a charter?
No hard and fast rule - each one is different. Generally definitional, essential elements –
the sine qua nons of the PP. Usually:• mission, objectives, purpose – what it’s for• membership – who’s in• bodies – who meets on what, how• roles and responsibilities – who does what• rights and rules – amendments, COI, P&I, etc.
Structural, not operational, level of detail.

Conflicts of Interest: Do decision makers have a biasin decision making?
– connections not content– less than transparent– uneven playing field, unfair advantage
Upstream ≠ downstream? not so fast ….
Partnership programs can make synergies out of conflicts.
– coordinate between upstream and downstream– bring downstream expertise upstream– provide full service package, efficient one-stop shop

inclusion / efficiency
• Trend to more inclusive stakeholder models • Some solutions to keep body size manageable:
– Donors represented through constituencies– Private sector through trade associations– Part 2 through (i) donors (lower amount), (ii)
recipients (but see COI), (iii) regional associations– CSOs / NGOs similar to Part 2
Need to be capable of consensus.Need to be sufficiently representative.
![Page 16: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
common platform / individual requirements
For example, pooled funding – distinguish between:• Nature of contribution• Status of legal agreement
TAILORED(cover agreement)
customize post-template
c
• Allocation and use of funds• Trustee operations
HARMONIZED(annexes)
agree on common template
![Page 17: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
pooling / earmarking
• Pooled funds with common terms versus restricted funds for specific purposes:– Does the donor need financial tracking?
• Softer alternatives within pooled funding:– Preferences, non-binding indications– Notional approach, funds in, first out– Granular proposals, detailed reporting– Timed contributions, after allocation decided
![Page 18: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
global platform / country grounding
• Process elements: – country consent for local activities
• Structural elements:– country participation in governing body– two-tier governance
![Page 19: Getting It Together: Structuring Partnership Programs for Collective Actio n LJD Week November 15, 2011 LEGCF, World Bank](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051412/551a539d550346a4248b61a0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
