Biography

Michael Warner, Rory Sullivan

This book helps substantially in clarifying the partnership idea. It focuses on partnerships in which business and industry have a leading role. This is a book for everyone who is interested in the follow-up of the WSSD: companies, social partnerships, governments and NGOs. Even more widely, this is a book for all those who are concerned about making the reduction of poverty a reality. - International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 5 September 2006

One of the most definitive studies on partnerships to date ... Lots has been said about the benefits of partnerships over corporates going it alone, but rarely is this accepted wisdom fleshed out. - Corporate Citizen Briefing, June/July 2004 

 ... an extraordinary account of four years of very significant work in partnerships and is without doubt an enormously important contribution to developing literature in this field. - The Corporate Citizen Vol. 4 Issue 2 (2004)

This excellent book ... has brought, to development literature and development practitioners, a rich and textured source of practical information and advice on how to put effective partnerships together. It provides direction on necessary conditions for effective partnerships, how to make partnerships thrive, the key pitfalls to avoid, and the the ways to monitor the partnership during development and implementation. For those in the private sector, government and civil society who are trying to address poverty and development challenges, this book is an exceptional business and development tool. - Journal of Environmental Assessment Policy and Management Vol. 7 No. 1 (March 2005)

Putting Partnerships to Work is about how partnerships work, the types of outcomes that can be achieved, and the necessary conditions for partnerships to be successful. - UNEP Industry and Environment, October-December 2004
