"The message is clear. Multiple stakeholder partnerships are neither easy nor a panacea. They often have high transaction costs and are difficult to establish and sustain. Many are new and untested. Yet, they offer an important new approach that has the potential to drive innovation, improve governance, raise living standards, and provide opportunity to millions of people. They deserve continued support, engagement, and evaluation from business leaders." -Partnering for Success: Business Perspectives on Multistakeholder Partnerships, World Economic Forum Report, 2005

Globalhood also worked on developing a Toolkits project in 2007, to make international development toolkits more accessible to practitioners. Later, a more effective platform for this was developed by TakingITGlobal, an excellent youth-driven organization. Definitely check out their awesome work!
