UNICEF Civil Society Partnership Review
Overview
Purpose: Based on the findings of this Review, the longer report:
• Discusses the nature of CSOs and contexts that define UNICEF-CSO partnerships.
• Defines what partnership means to CSO partners themselves and with reference
to definitions and principles adopted by the UN and ‘best practice’ experience.
• Highlights UNICEF’s main strengths and weaknesses as a partner, as CSOs
perceive them.
• Identifies key factors that influence the nature and outcomes of UNICEF-CSO
partnerships.
• Comments on the ‘state of play’ of UNICEF-CSO partnerships as related to
UNICEF’s Medium Term Strategic Plan (MTSP) focus areas.
• Provides two ‘typologies’ to describe the range of working arrangements that
constitute UNICEF-CSO partnerships.
• Makes recommendations to UNICEF for improving its CSO partnership policies
and practices, towards realizing the rights of children, their families and
communities.
The Review had the following objectives:
a) Document the range of UNICEF arrangements with CSOs currently referred to as
partnerships to generate a practice-based definition of
partnership.
b) Facilitate an enhanced understanding by UNICEF of the nature of its
collaboration with civil society organizations from the perspective of CSO
partners themselves: what they perceive to be the purposes, value and benefits
for children of partnership with UNICEF in the context of the CRC
and Millennium Development Goals (MDG).
c) Identify key conditions and factors that influence the strengths, weaknesses
and, in particular, the outcomes of UNICEF-CSO partnerships.
d) Provide guidance to UNICEF on the implications of its CSO partnership
experience for improved organizational policy and practice in the creation,
management and realization of development outcomes of these relationships.
