Pivotal
Beneficiary
Facilitator
The beneficiary is the target for the
development results to be achieved by
the initiative and is responsible for
ensuring that results are sustainable.
The pivotal partner often
has proven experience
and shares its knowledge
and expertise through
triangular co-operation.
The facilitator helps to
connect countries and
organisations to form a
triangular partnership
and gives financial
and/or technical support
to the collaboration.
Roles can constantly
change, depending on
the specific constellation
in a triangular
co-operation setting.
