Achieving sustainable communities
The Achieving Sustainable Communities website is a compilation of reports, case studies, commentaries, tools and models that may be useful to communities and community developers/social entrepreneurs.
"Truly sustainable communities are ultimately achieved and maintained by citizens themselves. They are community-led and community-driven."

Sustaining effective social partnerships
This Australian report reveals that the formation and maintenance of social partnerships depends on five key principles relating to purposes and goals; relations with partners; capacity for partnership work; governance and leadership; and trust and trustworthiness.
Using four partnerships as case studies, the report set out to assess how these principles and practices can be used to develop social partnerships strong enough to withstand changing circumstances. The findings suggest that a partnership's capacity for flexibility is enhanced when there is a culture of partnering, committed sponsors, supportive auspicing organisations, responsive partners and government commitment.
