Creating Reciprocal Partnerships
By collaborating with community partners, key actors, and decision-makers, we aim to co-design and evaluate research and interventions that are equitable, feasible, relevant, scalable, and sustainable. We will achieve this by strengthening and expanding our current partnerships and networks across multiple levels (tri-campus, local, regional, national, and global), while actively seeking new collaborations and partnerships to co-create solutions to common challenges facing our communities. Through nurturing reciprocity in these relationships, we ensure that our partners benefit from the Network's initiatives, programs, and funding opportunities, while we also gain valuable insights and resources from them. This reciprocal exchange fosters a cycle of continuous improvement and mutual support, enhancing the overall impact and sustainability of our collective efforts.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 2.1
OBJECTIVE
To formalize partnership structures and practices, optimizing administrative processes to bolster organizational effectiveness in cultivating partnerships that significantly contribute to the network's mission and enhance community engagement.
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 2.2
OBJECTIVE
To cultivate and strengthen our connections across local, provincial, national, and international landscapes, forging impactful collaborations with partners spanning multiple sectors, thereby enriching our organizational ecosystem and advancing collective objectives.
Achieving our goal of Creating Reciprocal Partnerships will result in a robust network of partners from community organizations, academic institutions, government, NGOs, private partners, and decision-makers working together to design and evaluate equitable and sustainable interventions. Strengthening and expanding our cross sectoral partnerships at multiple levels will foster impactful solutions to shared community challenges. By the end of three years, these efforts will enhance organizational effectiveness, drive collective progress in cardiometabolic disease management, and build an interconnected research and intervention ecosystem.
