View Publication

This blog examines the differences and similarities across multi-stakeholder partnerships, including how such partnerships are playing an increasingly important role in reimagining and transforming health in their communities.

  • Partnerships work primarily at the county or multi-county level
  • Partnerships approach their work in many different ways
  • The sectors involved are numerous and varied
  • Partnerships get their authority to lead from numerous sources
  • Infrastructure and financing are often the greatest challenges
