The Seed Partnership Support Channel delivers the package of support services to the winning partnerships.
The aim is to make the support offered as flexible as possible and to adapt to the ever changing needs of young partnerships as they develop.
Generally support will fit into one of the following three categories.
- Partnership building: helping the partners work together in the most effective and efficient way; mentoring individual partners; identifying problems and facilitating conflict resolution; improving balance and communication within the partnership; assisting with legal aspects and agreements etc.
- Capacity development: providing tools, training, field trips to other successful programmes, technical assistance and access to experts to help the partnership implement its work programme; assistance with business plans, financial projections etc.
- Opportunity building: facilitating access to funders and connections with local authorities, other organisations and programmes and potential new partners; running workshops to assist engagement of local stakeholders etc.
The Support Channel helps to publicize the partnerships, where appropriate, and attempts to leverage further support from other interested organisations.
