Internationally Networked NGOs

An increasing number of Dutch development NGOs are seeking to establish or join international NGO networks and partnerships. The motives and pathways towards internationalisation are very diverse, resulting in a variety of institutional arrangements. Member organisations of Partos are at

different stages of internationalisation. Deciding that you want to work in collaboration such as in networks, consortia, coalitions, PPPs is one thing, finding out how to do that is another. A good number of Partos members have been part of international networks for quite some time and are reflecting on how the

functioning of these networks can be further optimized. The Spindle initiated a series of workshops with the aim to further explore ‘the why, how and what’ of internationally networked NGOs.
