Summary

How can local communities and governments come together to find alternative models for collectively managing key resources and services, ensuring accessibility to all and strengthening community participation?

- The key principles and approaches to public-community partnerships and their relevance for responding to concrete challenges at the local level;
- The different models and examples of public community partnerships and how they can be applied in different sectors;
