This is a book for everyone who is interested in the follow-up of the WSSD: companies, social partnerships, governments and NGOs. Even more widely, this is a book for all those who are concerned about making the reduction of poverty a reality. - International Journal of Environment and Pollution, 5 September 2006

One of the most definitive studies on partnerships to date ... Lots has been said about the benefits of partnerships over corporates going it alone, but rarely is this accepted wisdom fleshed out. - Corporate Citizen Briefing, June/July 2004

... an extraordinary account of four years of very significant work in partnerships and is without doubt an enormously important contribution to developing literature in this field. - The Corporate Citizen Vol. 4 Issue 2 (2004)
