Tapping into the power of local.
The Practice of Partnership is a podcast about how local engagement is the cornerstone of sustainable, high-impact development. Development is inherently local and collaborative – local leadership and participation are essential. In this series, we explore the key ingredients of successful local partnerships, and most importantly hear from local partners themselves about how the relationships they have forged have helped to drive economic growth and development. As the old African proverb says, if you want to go far, go together.
Please listen to the episodes in order.
