Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: WSSD devoted considerable effort to promoting multi-stakeholders transnational partnerships as a device to usher into a new era of result-oriented governance. The enthusiasm for partnerships is not backed up by a well-articulated framework for understanding the conditins under which the comparative advantages that partnerships supply can most effectively deliver the results that stakeholders demand. Botheva-Androva and Levy (2003)created a relational database of 231 WWSD partnerships which supports the following conclusions; 1) on balance they are supply-driven rather than demand driven and they reflect ongoing implementation efforts more than new ideas for bridging core implementations gaps. A transition to outcome based decision making will fail unless a new mechanism can be found to create a more demand driven system. 2) Partnerships mirrors prevailing patterns more than challenges it, reflecting well known power structures and priorities.3) How to follow up these needs more critical dscussion than there was time for at WSSD.
