Overseas Development Institute (ODI), International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF)
Strategic alliances between business, government and civil society are a growing feature of both developed and emerging economies. Such multi-sector partnerships are necessary because it is increasingly clear that no one sector in society can deliver the goals of sustainable development alone.
In recognition of the complexity of brokering partnerships, the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and The Prince of Wales International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF) have launched a professional Partnership Brokers Accreditation Scheme (PBAS).
The Scheme includes skills development during a one-week residential course; submission of a detailed Logbook capturing experiences from a three-month period of professional practice; and a Final Project looking in detail at a specific aspect of the partnership brokering process. Written work is assessed by internal and external examiners. Those who successfully complete both parts of the programme and all elements of assessed work are awarded accreditation to the Scheme.
