1 Understand your partner

Before you approach a potential government partner, you need to do your homework and understand their goals, priorities, needs, and constraints. Research their policies, programs, budgets, and performance indicators, and identify how your nonprofit can align with them and add value. You also need to know who the key decision-makers and influencers are, and how to communicate with them effectively. By showing that you understand your partner's perspective, you can build trust and credibility.

2 Define your value proposition

A value proposition is a clear and concise statement that summarizes what your nonprofit offers to your government partner, how it solves their problems or meets their needs, and what makes you different from other providers. A strong value proposition should highlight your expertise, experience, impact, and innovation, and demonstrate how you can help your partner achieve their objectives and outcomes. You can use your value proposition to pitch your services, negotiate contracts, and report on your results.

While the structure and make-up of your value proposition are no doubt important, focusing on the impact your organization is creating or hopes to create can inspire decision makers to choose your nonprofit over others. If your charitable purpose inspires you, convey that passion to your potential partner in your value proposition. Make your purpose align with your passion for helping others to inspire your potential partner.

Algunas estrategias para definir tu propuesta de valor pueden ser: - Identificar los problemas o necesidades que tu organización puede resolver o atender con su experiencia, recursos o servicios. - Analizar el contexto y los actores relevantes del sector público, sus objetivos, prioridades y desafíos. - Establecer los beneficios y el impacto que tu organización puede aportar al gobierno, tanto en términos sociales como económicos. - Dise?ar una oferta adaptada a las demandas y expectativas del gobierno, que sea clara, concreta y diferenciada de otras alternativas. - Comunicar tu propuesta de valor de forma efectiva, utilizando evidencias, testimonios y casos de éxito que demuestren tu capacidad y credibilidad.

3 Collaborate and co-create

A strong nonprofit government partnership is not a one-way transaction, but a collaborative and co-creative process. You should seek to involve your partner in designing, implementing, and evaluating your programs, and solicit their feedback and input regularly. You should also share your challenges, successes, and learnings with them, and acknowledge their contributions and support. By collaborating and co-creating, you can foster a sense of ownership, accountability, and mutual respect.

Quasi-public, quasi-not-for-profit organizations require an working knowledge of Fund Accounting principles and practices. Similarly, the political dimension is of prime importance to make it a meaningful, working reciprocal relation. It's who you know that this coalition can adapt. That your intended mission purpose morphs and modifies over time requires an official who's accordingly amenable. Fundamental questions here: How often will the coalescing governmental oversight agency require you to report to them ? What circumstances are the conditions those which make it a necessity to contact them ? Will grant writing most likely produce results for a new budgeting cycle ? Is the clientele group overlapped by another not-for-profit ?

4 Adapt and innovate

Working with the government can often require you to adapt and innovate your programs and practices to meet changing needs, expectations, and regulations. You should be flexible and responsive to your partner's requests and suggestions, and be willing to experiment with new approaches and solutions. You should also monitor and measure your performance and impact, and use data and evidence to inform your decisions and improvements. By adapting and innovating, you can show your partner that you are committed to quality and excellence.

The executive level, irrespective of the Public, Private, or Not-for-profit sector must read and react to changes in the concerned environment. In common parlance, in summary fashion, '...They know what's going on. ' Need to keep voluminous records on your end, contemporaneous with most any decision you can refer back to for just their queries, or more substantive reports. Make it clear that 'you run a pretty tight ship.' Need not to be overspecialized or too narrow - or too broad - in, what may have been, your original mission statement. Otherwise, the partner might excise or exclude what your org needs. Be open to emerging techs, trends and practices. The partners impacts may well be the influence how your org stays afloat !

5 Advocate and educate

A strong nonprofit government partnership is not only about service delivery, but also about advocacy and education. You should use your unique position and voice to inform, influence, and inspire your partner on the issues and causes that matter to your nonprofit and your community. You should also educate them on the value and role of the nonprofit sector, and the challenges and opportunities it faces. By advocating and educating, you can build a more supportive and enabling environment for your nonprofit and your partner.

Definitely indicate to the partnership what has been done in the past, what the organization has done well and how the challenges made service levels difficult - particularly in the recent past. Enjoin and engage partner representatives at meetings but especially at the service delivery level. Show how caring you are for your intended clientele group - That you solidly 'know the ropes' with those who would be receiving benefits under you as Director, along with your Board of Trustees. Also demonstrate how you instill information, hence education, with those affected by your organizations' programs.

6 Nurture and sustain

A strong nonprofit government partnership is not a one-time event, but a long-term relationship. You should invest time and effort to nurture and sustain your partnership, and cultivate a culture of trust, respect, and appreciation. You should also seek to expand and diversify your partnership, and explore new ways of working together. By nurturing and sustaining, you can create a more stable and reliable source of funding and support for your nonprofit.

A major part of any successful NGO - Government partnership is setting up proper systems* - skilled manpower* to handle it, this not only includes 'Roadmap of partnership*' but also "Code of Conduct during the project"* Let us look at all these factors: 1.Skilled manpower- suitable for the job, perspective and at ease to perform with local backgrounds 2 Proper Systems- Resources- mentoring & monitoring 3.Roadmap - initiation- during and after ( most agencies are good on paper) 4.Code of Conduct - full proof policy with safeguarding aims & individuals in the process 5. Flexible & responsible leadership with liberty of operations to the field & service staff. If this is taken care of, a best partnership is possible for desired goals.
