The Best Practices and Local Leadership Programme works with a decentralized network of organisations committed to the identification, analysis and dissemination of lessons learned from Best Practices.
Each partner brings its own expertise and geographic coverage to the programme, creating a world-wide network of organisations. Partners incorporate Best Practices into their on-going activities such as education, research, training, capacity-building and advocacy. These partners include:
