  • What internal factors (organizational structures and functions) and external factors (public policies, power dynamics, and approaches to stakeholder engagement) impact cross-sector partnership design, functionality, and sustainability?
  • In what ways are partnership dynamics (why stakeholders came together and how they have evolved) influenced by these factors?
