Partner’s Network

Teamwork and collaboration are the essential elements of any successful project outcome. Humanity & Health Foundation (HHF) welcomes businesses, companies, organizations, and non-profit organizations in community medicine. Education, healthcare, pharmaceutical, religion, government, and the private sector. To sustain our communities, we must work together to achieve common goals and objectives.

Collaboration enables us to accomplish jointly something that one agency alone could not. Many funding agencies have recognized the power that partnership can bring and are now calling for interagency collaboration as part of the criteria for grantee selection.

The following is a list of collaboration benefits:

• Better use of scarce resources conserves limited capital.
• Cost and effort are not duplicated. Fragmentation among services, programs, and initiatives is reduced.
• An agency can create something in the collaboration that it could not create on its own.
• Higher-quality, more integrated outcomes for end users.
• Integration of diverse perspectives to better appreciate and understand the situation.
• Improved communication among agencies and between agencies and their constituents.
• Increased trust and understanding among individuals and organizations.
• The potential for organizational and individual learning.
• Better ability to achieve meaningful outcomes.

1. Building understanding by fostering an exchange of information and ideas among agencies, organizations, and the public and providing a mechanism for resolving uncertainty.
2. Providing a mechanism for effective decision-making through processes focusing on common problems and building support for decisions.
3. Generating a means of getting necessary work done by coordinating cross-boundary activities, fostering joint management activities, and mobilizing an expanded set of resources.
4. Developing the capacity of agencies, organizations, and communities to deal with future challenges.
5. Work with existing non-profit agencies to maximize their potential and the community’s overall well-being.
