The MSP Guide, published by the Centre for Development Innovation (CDI) at Wageningen University and Research Centre, provides detailed instructions on building a successful MSP, guiding partners through the four main phases of MSP development. In addition, the Guide identifies seven core principles that help to make an MSP more effective and explains how best to support an MSP. Additional practical assistance is provided in the form of links to 60 online tools for use in partnering processes; these tools help partners to identify shared goals and resolve conflicts within the MSP, for example.
