Towards Quality Partnerships for the SDGs

In this article, we feature a recently concluded research project on Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships for Sustainable Development. The project had three phases, analyzing the effectiveness of transnational partnerships (2006-2009), researching their local-level projects in fragile areas (2010-2013), as well as identifying lessons learned and meta-governance for partnerships (2014-17). The project was part of the DFG-funded collaborative research center SFB700 on ‘Governance in Areas of Limited Statehood‘ and was hosted by Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) Berlin.
