Abstract
Partnerships forged among equal partners have more chances of being successful. This article presents an analytical framework for a complete project cycle of a partnership, which includes nine components: organ izational arrangements as choice making; selection and commitment of partners; objectives and core com petencies of the partners; partnership inputs and outcomes; involvement of partners in a programme, staff for a partnership; operations of a partnership; evaluation of a partnership; and a decision to modify or quit a partnership. This framework was applied to the Urban Basic Services Programme in Delhi. It was found that in spite of the fact that this partnership was theoretically sound, it could not achieve its chief objectives of creating sustainable community structures and convergence of basic service providers due to exclusion of local communities during important stages of the formation of the partnership. The only objective it could successfully achieve was that of universal immunization of children.
