Partnering in Prevention:
Building equitable partnerships in primary prevention

Partnership is a core part of primary prevention. It increases reach and impact, strengthens policy and advocacy and makes programs more relevant to the communities they seek to reach and serve. This is because different stakeholders bring distinct responsibilities, resources and expertise that, together, extend what any single organisation can achieve.

This resource is based on documented learning from practice and is designed to complement the VicHealth Partnership Analysis Tool. It also draws extensively on the Partnership Brokers Association’s foundational work, applied across sectors and contexts around the world. While this resource was written specific to primary prevention, many of the lessons it contains can be replicated across sectors.
