"Partnerships, dialogue and stakeholders" (BASD summary on partnership between business, NGOs and other stakeholders) This three-page summary of an October 2001 BASD working group on stakeholder groups and partnership says: "In reviewing progress and identifying challenges, it was noted that the number of stakeholders and stakeholder groups active in engaging in partnerships and dialogue has increased considerably in all areas (associative, not-for-profit, semi-governmental, business organizations). Moreover, new forms of partnerships were emerging so that partnerships now encompassed arrangements extending from global, multi-sector, multistakeholder dialogue (e.g., Global Environmental Facility, UN Global Compact, the UN CSD process) through local-level partnerships involving a few stakeholders from the same sector."
