The article describes some of the important internal and external pressures that led CRS to adopt a new approach to university engagement: the processes that evolved to manage its five-year journal-article-building_more_robust_ngo-university_partnerships_in_developmentstrategy; and some of the key activities that the partnerships supported. Based on this analysis, the paper extrapolates a series of six cross-cuttingjournal-article-building_more_robust_ngo-university_partnerships_in_development

This is because the motivation and culture of an NGO is very different from that of a university.

As a result, many of t journal-article-building_more_robust_ngo-university_partnerships_in_developmenthese partnerships are focused on specific projects with little forethought about how the relationship will be managed or the partners' longer-term goajournal-article-building_more_robust_ngo-university_partnerships_in_development
