  • Literate Punjab should discuss the goal with the school network towards gauging thier interest. If interested, they may now pitch the idea of exchanging opportunities towards attaining the goal by finding out what is of utmost need to the network and providing that in exchange for the classrooms. If interest is low, they may need to pitch enough benefits that will outrun the cost of entering into such a partnership.

  • The opportunity could lead to potential partnership because the two organizations have aligned interests and they can combine complimentary resources

  • This kind of a partnership is a leverage kind of partnership. Hence, Literate Ounjabi must pitch an opportunity for the small Pakistan NGO. There is an exchange of resources here. The earlier needs to use classrooms, while the other requiures services to improve its literacy curriculum.

  • However, there needs to be champions on both sides to spearhead the discussions...

  • absolutely. interests are more important than position...

  • leverage is quiet a great way of using another partners resources with you expending so much, especially if that resource are quiet expensive to access

  • what is the place of the donor in all the negotiations which take place? Should they have a say?

  • In the advent that an organization need certain leverage in resources and the only partner with those resources is one they have a lot of differences with in terms of interests, can the partnership still go on?

  • Literate Punjab should discuss the goal with the school network towards gauging thier interest. If interested, they may now pitch the idea of exchanging opportunities towards attaining the goal by finding out what is of utmost need to the network and providing that in exchange for the classrooms. If interest is low, they may need to pitch enough benefits that will outrun the cost of entering into such a partnership.

  • They should have a broad discussion and also pitch the benefits of the partnership.

  • Literate Punjab can start by sending an email with a proposal to the schools, requesting to meet in person to discuss partnership. Schools interested will respond and set up a physical meeting which will be aimed at discussing broad and general interests of both parties.

  • They should leverage on the available classrooms of the local network private schools while the schools benefit from Literate Punjab's technical support. This is Leverage/Exchange approach

  • Literate Punjab should work at different clusters like- adult clubs, associations, local units of the state government to incorporate its mission to encourage adult literacy projects. It can work with both government and non government partners having similar interest and core grounds.

  • Literacy Punjab should conduct discussion meeting with network leaders of private schools. If they find that curriculum private schools are not up to the mark or need to improve further and Literacy Punjab is a recognized organization to develop better quality literacy curriculum. In this situation Literacy Panjab can approach local network of private schools that "If they provide scope to conduct adult training at their schools they will provide consulting service of developing literacy curriculum for these schools."

To successful discussion Literacy Punjab can organize a workshop where they will show their expertise on developing literacy curriculum to attract attention of leaders of private school network.

  • Literate Punjab can start by sending out an invitation to talk with all the schools involved. The discussion will give them the opportunity to access whether or not they have align interest.

  • Also the partnership agreement must be clearly define to avoid doubt

  • Literate Punjab could consider pitching solutions to the literacy curriculum gaps and propose to help improve the curriculum in exchange for the classrooms. The approach could be a combined approach where Literate Punjab and network of private schools integrate their available expertice and resources to achieve a common goal of improvinf literacy in Punjab.

  • Firstly, Literate Punjab should check if the interest of the school aligned with theirs. As the partnership they are offering is a leverage/exchange type, they should Pitch the opportunity to the schools that ''if your schools allow us to use your classrooms we will provide consultancy on your literacy curriculum''.

  • This is a leverage/exchange relationship therefore the conversation needs to communicate how they will benefit from the partnership and how the values Illiterate Punjab has align with those of the school.

  • he can only approach the school if its going to benefit his program .

  • Literate Punjab will take the network of private schools that there exists an opportunity for them to improve literacy rate in their communities. This is an intergration type of relationship where both organizations have similar interests and there is a mutual gains

  • They should pitch the opportunity. The level of partnership explained is leverage or exchange since Literate Punjab is in need of classroom to facilitate teaching adults and in exchange they will offer consultation services to their new partners.

  • Literate Punjab can start by sending out an invitation to talk with all the schools involved. This could involve sending out emails to to this schools and stating the general goal and requesting for a physical meeting with the management of the schools. If the schools have high interest their will be on need for more persuasion. During the physical meeting Literate Punjab should pitch the specific opportunity to potential partners since Literate Punjab intend to use exchange approach during partnering where both sides are receiving benefits directly towards the overall goal of literacy in adults.

  • They should have an open conversation with the school and discuss their interests and why they think they should collaborate.

  • Because their interests align it seems like they can leverage this opportunity for both to benefit from it.

  • Combine/Integrate: Open conversation
    Example: We think there may be some interesting opportunities for us to collaborate in the field of education and literacy.

  • Literate Punjab should invite the representatives of the local network for schools and discuss with them about partnering,to know if they are interested in the partnership. If yes, then they should ensure to understand how their interests are aligned.
    If the local network for schools has low interest to this partnership,then Literate Punjab should propose to use the school's classrooms in exchange for consulting on the school's literacy curriculum. This will be a demonstration to the school s network that the potential partnership would generate enough benefits for the two partners.

  • Hence I would be using the combine/Integrate approach. I would open a conversation on awareness, advocacy and implementation of Psychosocial activities ithin the country starting with a state.

  • Leverage/Exchange the literate Punjab Ngo can pitch the opportunity of what the local school stands to gain in exchange for giving out their classroom to them.

  • Punjab NGO should use the Leverage/Exchange approach by saying; Teach our students and we will provide curriculum

  • I think combination or integration is possible in the Punjab and private schools. They can integrate adult schooling and private school and try to integrate thier skills to review the school's literacy curriculum. I think this would be a win-win partnership.

  • This partnership should be a transformational partnership for Literate Punjab.

  • le cours sur le partenariat est fondamental

  • They should pitch the opportunity because it is a leverage/exchange relationship. Both sides are receiving benefits directly towards the overall goal of literacy in adults (the children will eventually become adults and increase the literacy of adults in the area.which is fulfilling both goals and values in the long run

  • True,leverage level of partnership applies in this scenerio

  • Все прекрасно. Все отлично. Спасибо

  • The opportunity could lead to potential partnership because the two organizations have aligned interests and they can combine complimentary resources

  • This scenario offers a Leverage and Exchange level of partnership.

    The request for and initial conversation by Literate Punjab to the network of private schools can go like this:

    We humbly request that you avail us access to your school classrooms (after school hours) to allow us extend our reach to teach more adults to read, and in return, we will provide out expertise in updating the school's literacy curriculum.

  • They must discuss about their goals , vision ,missions and compere their culture then partner.

  •   First plan for communication and then arrange for schedule to visit the school.  Explain the contribution the organization interms of boosting literacy rate for the same community. Also explain its complmentarity to teaching adults literacy and its impact on school children. 
    

    Also Explain how you can share your curriculum experts in revitalizing the current school curriculum.

  •  Working through local NGO helps to reach into a hard to reach areas even at difficult times !
  • Both partners have some common opportunities to work together and also can agree on specific objectives/activities. They can have a chance to understand the aligned interests which they can leverage on.

  • I'm afraid the private school will have low interest, first, they are a private school, which means they have enriched educator resources to consult, Punjab can't provide something unique things. Second, private schools target mostly young children, which is different than Punjab's target beneficiaries, thus, private schools will have less interest.
    In this case, Punjab needs to provide something that he needs to make sure that do they interested in supporting adult literacy, and second, he needs to provide something that will get benefit from this.

  • The first thing to do is find out how their interests align. The level of interest informs the level and kind of advocacy tactics or persuasion strategy to adopt. Literate Punjab should further discuss the initiative with the leadership of local network of private schools. This offers them the opportunity to share their interests as well as their greatest need. This may not necessarily be assistance with the literacy curriculum. This provides a clear framework for negotiation.

  • I agree. Since the offer is an exchange with potential leverage, the partners should agree on it. This serves their interest and creates value for everyone.

  • BOTH THE PARTNERS ARE IN THE TEACHING...COMMON INTEREST ....COMMON AREA...
    BOTH HAVE GOT ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATIONS
    LITERATE PUNJAB IS WELL EQUIPPED WITH THE LITERACY CURRICULUM...LIMITATION IS NOT HAVING ITS OWN BUILDING / INFRASTRUCTURE
    PRIVATE SCHOOLS ARE WELL ESTABLISHED AND GOT INFRASTRUCTURE. ...LIMITATION NOT EQUIPPED WITH LITERACY CURRICULUM.
    BOTH PARTNERS NEED TO SHARE AND DO NEGOTIATE WITH FLEXIBILITY.
    IN THIS CONTEXT, LITERATE PUNJAB HAS TO START THE NEGOTIATION WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
    THIS PROCESS COMES UNDER THE LEVEL OF LEVERAGE / EXCHANGE.
    LITERATE PUNJAB SHOULD SHARE ITS RESOURCE OF LITERACY CURRICULUM.
    ON THE OTHER HAND, PRIVATE SCHOOLS SHOULD ALLOW THE NGO TO SHARE CLASSROOMS.

    THIS IS A WIN WIN SITUATION TO SHARE THEIR OWN RESOURCES FOR THE COMMON INTEREST OF LITERACY / EDUCATION.

    IT WORKS WELL AS BOTH THE PARTNERS RE FLEXIBLE, READY TO SHARE & EXCHANGE, COMMON INTEREST, BENEFITS TO THE ADULT LEARNERS.

  • NGO SHOULD START NEGOTIATION WITH THE PARTNER THAT:

    1. IT WILL AN OPPORTUNITY FOR BOTH
    2. COMMON INTEREST FOR BOTH
    3. NO ADDITIONAL BURDEN ON BOTH
    4. BENEFIT TO THE ADULTS
    5. IMAGE BUILDING IN THE COMMUNITY FOR BOTH
    6. EXPERIENCE TO THE TEACHERS AND STAFF FROM BOTH THE SIDES.

    IT WILL BE A POSITIVE NEGOTIATION WITH THE LEVEL OF LEVERAGE / EXCHANGE

  • IT IS THE WIN WIN SITUATION FOR THE LITERATE PUNJAB AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO GET PARTNERED WITH THE COMMON INTEREST OF EDUCATING THE ADULTS TO READ. INTEREST ARE ALIGNED.
    THIS PARTNERSHIP WORKS AS THERE IS NO BURDEN ON ANY PARTNER, ADDING VALUE TO BOTH, AND FIANLY THE ADULTS GET BENEFITED WITH LITERACY.
    CONGRATS AND ALL THE BEST.

  • Literate Punjab should firstly align their interest with network of private schools through detailing their desires and concerns in improving school literacy curriculum. Then they should correctively reach the goal of their partnership thus what is the expected end of their partnership. They need also to agree on specific objectives of the partnership and activities that will be involved to achieve objectives. The resources needed during the time of partnership and implementation should be mentioned and clearly indicate who will be responsible in providing them. They need also to clearly indicate the level of partnership depending on the goal of the project or program. Mechanisms to resolve conflicts should also be put in place to mitigate conflicts that may arise as the project is implemented. Then memorandum of understanding should be signed between these two parties.

  • Literate Punjab will have to be very persuasive on this initial conversation, as the public school network might have a low interest, and perhaps find their preliminary pitch not so attractive, as they most likely have resources for paying for consultancy services, and the share of the population they serve is different (in age and income). Literate Punjab could reinforce that this partnership could be beneficial for the their image, and provide opportunities for positive media coverage.

  • We are coming from Literate Punjab, a small organization that teaches adults how to read . We have come to realise that fulfilling our goal is stannous since we do not have ample resources, we therefore need to partner with other stakeholders whose interests and influence goes in line with ours. We think that the local network of private schools has a goal that goes in line with our goal. We are experts in providing some consultations on the school's literacy curriculum. We are therefore asking for your partnership where we can be leverage/exchange services. As for us we were asking you to allow us to use your classrooms for our program purposes while we provide consulting services for school literacy curriculum. In this way we can easily reach our objective since we will have classes where the adults will coming in for class sessions and our consulting services will assist in enhancing good quality on the curriculum for your curriculum.

    The two organizations i.e. the Literate Punjab and the local network of private schools use the leverage/exchange level of partnership. This is because they both benefit from each other. The literate Punjab will benefit from using the classrooms while the local network for the Private schools will benefit from the school's literacy curriculum.

  • To determine if a relationship is worthwhile pursuing, it is important to establish the level of commitment and the nature of the collaboration from the first encounters

  • PUNJAB should have a discussion with school and they agree on a common goal . It should be clear of what every partner leverages on the other for mutual benefit.

  • It would be a leverage/exchange pitch. In exchange for the use of the classrooms, he would be able to teach the students, and in turn, offer his expertise to help with the curriculum.

  • Being this a potential leverage/exchange relationship, they should discuss common interest and how to put together the complementary resources they have.

  • In such a scenario, it is preferable that the initial conversation take place according to the common goal of the two organizations, which is education, and then the goals are detailed in order to understand the exact goal of each.

  • The NGO should first of all have a general and broad meeting with the available network of local schools, then pitching the idea of how a potential partnership between two parties can achieve a humongous success which is to increase the literacy level of the pupils from these local communities.
    Utilising leverage/exchange level of partnerships, will help both parties to achieve their common denominator of interest, which is to educate the pupils, both adults and children, hence improving the literacy level of the nation at large.

  • I agree that pitching the opportunity to increase literacy in adults is a great idea. It is a mutually beneficial exchange relationship that could have positive results for both sides. The children would benefit from increased literacy, which would prepare them for adult life, and the adults would benefit from having more literate people in their community. It's a win-win situation and a great opportunity for everyone involved.

  • It is great that our interests in promoting education in Pakistan are very similar. As such, Literate Punjab would like you to offer us the use of your classrooms after school closes and we would in turn provide you with consulting services to your school on literacy curriculum development. Literate Punjab has considerable experience in this area and we would like to exchange our expertise in literacy curriculum development with the use of your classroom for adult literacy classes after your school closes for the day. This is win-win exchange that we are seeking to leverage for our mutual benefit.

  • i believe that both organisations should pitch the opportunity which is a leverage and exchange partnership because the both partners have interest fo potential opportunities

  • I thik that a champion from each organisation should represnt their organisation and discuss the interests and potential opportunities that is involved

  • A leverage/ exchange approach or conversation should be the conversation engaged in by the organization to utilize the opportunity for a potential benefiting partnership. The leverage approach is best for this partnership because both parties have resources such as classroom and curriculum respectively. So Literature Punjab should show that they are willing to exchange the School's Literature Curriculum for the classrooms of the school.

  • I totally agree to your idear

  • I believe Literate Punjab should approach the school from a leverage/exchange approach because it has the potential for a mutually beneficial arrangement where Literate Punjab has expertise in adult literacy while the local network of private schools have physical classrooms. This partnership has the potential to be a win-win situation for both parties.

  • This is a leverage/exchange partnership. They should definitely approach the small Pakistani NGO. Their interests are similar and they both could provide benefits to one another without a lot of effort.

  • This is a leverage/exchange level of partnership. Literate Punjab should approach the schools with the conversation about how their interests align.

  • Literate Punjab is looking into proposing a leverage/exchange partnership, therefore before approaching the school they need to conduct a thorough research about the local network of private schools to understand their mission, values, and educational priorities. They develop a clear and brief proposal outlining the objectives, benefits, and scope of the proposed partnership. Highlight the potential advantages for the school such as enhancing their literacy and curriculum, promoting community engagement, and utilising their resources more effectively. After compiling the proposal, they need to reach out to the school network through a formal letter or email expressing interest in discussing a potential partnership, clearly articulate the purpose of the communication and request a meeting or discussion to explore collaboration opportunities more. Schedule the meeting with relevant stakeholders from the school network to present the partnership proposal. If the meeting goes well, negotiate terms and conditions of the partnership, including the use of school facilities and the consulting arrangement. They should be open to compromise to ensure that the partnership agreement is mutually beneficial and aligns with the interests of both parties. They should do a follow up with the school network after the meeting to address any remaining questions or concerns and finalise the partnership agreement. They will need to develop a detailed implementation plan outlining the steps and timeline for integrating Literate Punjab’s consulting support into the school literacy curriculum. Finally, they will have to maintain regular communication with the school representatives throughout the partnership to ensure that goals are met and challenges are addressed effectively.

  • Both organizations must agree that considering that they are involved in the educational field, their interests are aligned. The type of partnership to be implemented is one based on exchange. At the Pakistani NGO, the person responsible for the partnership will request a meeting with his counterpart from the school network to present the opportunity. During the discussions, the NGO must prove that the school network has an interest in being in partnership with them, through the exchange of resources and the increase in notoriety.

  • With a common interest aligned, Literate Punjab should pitch the opportunity by highlighting the benefits that would come for both sides if a partnership were to be established. Since this is a leverage/exchange situation, it would be good to demonstrate that the partnership would generate benefits for both sides.
