Frameworks for Approaching Collaboration within the Humanitarian Sector

This paper’s goal is to provide a straightforward way of thinking about what collaboration is and what is necessary to make it successful. In short, it hopes to offer a simple way to think about a genuinely complex subject. The approach is propositional. It is not claiming to have defined the one truth about the nature of collaboration, but rather hope the framework presented will be practically useful to the leaders and practitioners who wish to apply collaboration to challenges in the difficult and continually changing Humanitarian Environment.
