“The Brokering Guidebook illuminates the critical part played by brokers in multi-sector partnerships as both process managers and behind the scenes leaders. It focuses on partnership brokering — that essential intermediary function that enables partners to work well together and ensure the maximum effectiveness of their partnership. The Brokering Guidebook has been created to: illuminate the critical part played by brokers in multi-sector partnerships as both process managers and behind the scenes leaders — for the benefit of actual and potential partners, external donors and any individuals or organisations that feel that they may be suited to the broker’s role; and to outline and support in practical ways the many tasks that a broker may undertake on behalf of partners during the life-cycle of a partnership — for the benefit of those currently operating as brokers in multi-sector partnerships for sustainable development.”
