Multi-stakeholder Partnerships and Digital Technologies for Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, Three case studies

Multi-stakeholder partnerships are a powerful tool to further development projects. They have become particularly critical to initiatives that promote the fruitful use of digital technologies to improve peoples quality of life and development perspectives. Multi-stakeholder partnerships contribute to coalesce different types of knowledge, experience and resources that come together around common interests and goals.
They enrich and complement the individual efforts of governments, organizations, academia and companies that would otherwise remain isolated and limited. Still, multi-stakeholder partnerships also confront obstacles, limitations and drawbacks. It is precisely for this reason that the rigorous and systematic analysis of the ways in which these partnerships arise and function, become successful or fail, is of great importance to the international development community.
This publication presents three case studies of successful multistakeholder partnerships devoted to the promotion of digital technologies for development in Latin America and the Caribbean. The purpose is to analyze the process through which these partnerships were created and have withstood the passing of time, in order to point out performance criteria and lessons learned leading to better practices for building and sustaining this kind of partnerships in the region.
