Guidelines for Knowledge Partnerships

Strategy 2020, the long-term strategic framework of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), argues that knowledge solutions must be enriched through internal learning from operational practice and external learning from long-term knowledge partnerships. These guidelines offer a framework for strengthening such partnerships. They specify the essentials of designing for performance, articulate building blocks, and underscore success factors and special considerations. The guidelines are offered as a resource document and reference to ADB staff members in general. They may also help other organizations design and manage their knowledge partnerships better.
