ABSTRACT
A number of factors can influence the ownership and control of the outcomes of partnerships for social investment. In particular, the formal and informal obligations that each partner (or partnering organisation) has to other parties may present barriers either to assuming or to relinquishing responsibilities. This chapter describes six different models of partnership from the perspective of ownership and control and discusses options for dealing with such barriers. Specific reference is made to the obstacles to partnership faced by civil-society actors.
