Last week, Oscar Widerberg, core member of the CONNECT team presented the recently published report on building-blocks for multi-stakeholder partnerships at the Global Perspectives conference arranged by the International Civil Society Center (ICSC) in partnership with the OECD in Paris. The event was attended by over 100 CEOs and other executives from the world’s largest Civil Society Organizations including for example the WWF, Greenpeace, CARE, SOS Children’s Villages, Oxfam and World Vision. The presentation introduced a workshop on multi-stakeholder partnerships and the role of CSOs. Chaired by  Sam Worthington, President & CEO of InterAction, the presentation and report was discussed by Rebecca Masisak, CEO of TechSoup Global and Heather MacKenzie, President and CEO at Forum for Democratic Global Governance. The report was well-received and the participants decided to focus more closely on power-relationships and leadership within multi-stakeholder partnerships when breaking into smaller working groups, indicating important themes for follow-up research.
