Foreword and Acknowledgements
Foreword
The Department of Internal Affairs actively supports collaboration between local authorities, central government agencies, iwi/Maori and a wide range of other organisations, to enable effective planning and better use of resources.
This resource was developed with the Interface Facilitation Team, which is part of the Local Government and Community Branch of the Department. The team has a role collecting and sharing good practice examples and experiences of collaboration.
‘Putting Partnering into Practice: Collaboration on Complex Issues – Healthy Homes’ joins already published resources, ‘Putting Pen to Paper’ and ‘Putting Pen to Paper: Profiles’ on www.communityoutcomes.govt.nz.
Author Megan Courtney is a recognised expert in the field of interagency partnering and has many years of experience actively involved in brokering and sustaining relationships. She has again worked with us on producing this third partnering report that focuses on the partnering experience of multiple agencies working together to achieve healthy homes outcomes across New Zealand. Putting Partnering in Practice provides useful ideas for strengthening partnering practice.
