“As a partner of organizations in the public, private, and NGO/civil society sectors, we [KPMG] have a deep  appreciation for the transformative power of cross-sector partnerships to create a world that is more prosperous, inclusive, sustainable and resilient. In this report, we seek to catalyze greater understanding around this process by providing a framework for organizations that may have never engaged in a partnership or are seeking to improve their current approach. We have drawn on research, one-on-one interviews with organizations actively engaged in partnerships, and KPMG’s own insights to identify what we believe are the underlying values and key factors that must be considered to create, operate, and sustain an effective partnership.”
