Lesson 2 · Build Collaborations · Step 5 of 5
What held it together, and the hard look in the mirror
Trust is the foundational capital of collaboration, and it holds a partnership together against changes of government, shifts in funding, and turnover. The tuberculosis partnership in Peru held, and World Health Organization policy changed. Authority within it still sat in a familiar place, with the convening, the funding, and the policy leverage running through institutions in the Global North. Vision, trust, clear roles, and communication matter whoever leads, and practicing them well inside an inequitable structure leaves the structure inequitable.
