From theturn of the millennium this relationship has increasingly been described as a partnership.This concept has never been properly defined. Rather it was framed by a set of principlesthat could be shared by most development actors and open for context-specific interpretationand use. Partnership is used as a label placed on most aid relations and widely referred to indevelopment policy documents irrespective of what is going on in practice. Such buzzwordsthus have the dual function of both concealing (lack of) meaning and disagreement andintegrating diverse actors and practice.The partnership concept is central to the Norwegian development policy, but a cleardefinition cannot be found in public MFA documents investigated in this study. Norec’sguidelines also uses the concept frequently, with an emphasis on the notions of ownership,reciprocity and collaboration, but do not provide any blueprint. Nor do they specify whatownership means, how to operationalize reciprocity and how to build trust.Each Norec exchange programme involves a coordinating partner. The coordinating partnerenjoys an elevated position in the exchange partnership by virtue of being responsible formanaging the overall dialogue with Norec and being legally and economically accountable.Their resources and capacity to carry out this role varies. Most interviewees however,partners and coordinators alike, not only recognize the coordinators’ elevated role in thepartnership, but also claim it as a necessity to get things done, thus effectively questioningthe basic idea of equality in the partnership. Therefore, in discussing the partnership conceptin Norec’s programmes, particular attention should be given to the role of the coordinatingpartner how it understands and practices the partnership concept.Long-term commitment were highlighted in the interviews as critical to engendering trust andmutual respect and thus a good partnership. A good Norec partnership is often based onpersonal relations, and much responsibility for this is placed on the exchange participants.Nupi's turn of the millennium this relationship has increasingly been described as a partnership.development policy documents irrespective of what is going on in practice.

To mitigate these concerns and to increase the partnerships’sustainability beyond the role of the exchange participants, respondents proposed centeringpartnerships more on the organization’s and institutional cooperation.The exchange partnerships nominally are about reciprocal teaching and learning. The notionthat the exchange projects were about participants from the north going abroad to teach,while those from the south travel to the north to learn, was strong among civil societypartnerships, but near absent in private sector partnerships and in exchanges drawing onhighly competent, knowledge intensive sectors. Among the private actors interviewed, thefocus was more on the added value of cultural exchanges rather than teaching and learning.Most Norec partners pay tribute to the key partnership principles by focusing on ownership,reciprocity, trust, equal participation, and collaboration. This indicates that most partnersacross various exchange projects largely share understanding of the partnership concept,but the interviews discover greater differences regarding how the interviewees experience itin concreate projects. Most acknowledge thar there is an asymmetry among partners. Few,however, admit that the partnership is an asymmetrical one and that power differences existwithin the partnership, despite interviewees referring to practice that suggests otherwise. Itthus appears to be a structural discrepancy between what people say on the one hand, andwhat they do or say they do on the other hand. This, when seen together, may suggestlimited awareness among partner institutions to the power dynamics of exchangepartnerships. *588 $aTittel fra tittelskjermbildet (sett 16. november 2022) *653 6$areport$_128546700 *7001 $aLie, Jon Harald Sande$d1977-$0(NO-TrBIB)4043266$tPartnership - just another buzzword?$_99898500 *7102 $aNorsk utenrikspolitisk institutt$0(NO-TrBIB)90065080$4pbl$_13249700 *85640$3Fulltekst$uhttps://www.nb.no/search?q=oaiid:"oai:nb.bibsys.no:999920334202302202"$yNettbiblioteket$zSøke-URL *913 $aNorbok$bNB *999 $aoai:nb.bibsys.no:999920334202302202$b2022-11-12T03:03:17Z$z999920334202302202 ^
