Towards a Portfolio Approach: Partnerships for Sustainable Transformations
David Horan
Abstract
Abstract This perspective article examines the role that partnerships can play in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It elucidates a portfolio approach to partnerships that could align well with achieving a sustainable transformation. To conclude, it outlines recommendations on how this approach may be operationalized in research, policy, and practice. Much remains to be done on a portfolio approach. Practice and sharing of good practice should be guiding principles to facilitate peer‐to‐peer learning. It is also important to address power imbalances, conflicting interests, and limited representation in partnerships.
