• Introduce the advantages of working with implementing partners
• Introduce the differences between the various types of partnerships
• Understand the process of assessing, selecting and managing implementing partners
• Follow best practice of working with a partner from selection to final assessment after the end of the project
• Highlight the special issues arising when ending a partnership
