CAPACITY STRENGTHENING TOOL

Collaboration Multiplier

Collaboration Multiplier provides a systematic approach to laying the groundwork for multifield collaboration. The tool guides organizations through a collaborative discussion to identify activities that accomplish a common goal, delineate each partner’s perspective and potential contributions, and leverage expertise and resources. Collaboration Multiplier is based on the understanding that different groups and sectors have different views of an issue and different reasons for engaging in a joint effort. Collaboration Multiplier occurs in two phases: 1. Information Gathering, and 2. Collaboration Multiplier Analysis. Collaboration Multiplier serves as a starting point for appreciating what different fields can bring to the table and for building effective interdisciplinary efforts through partnership. After completing the two-phase process, partners can begin developing a comprehensive strategy to achieve their shared vision.
