The Network Partnership program was set up in 2002.
An open, mutually beneficial exchange based on respect and trust. That is the core of The Prince Claus Fund’s Network Partner Programme. Each year the Fund invites two cultural organisations with their own established networks in Asia, Africa, Latin America or the Caribbean to become Network Partners for 3 years. The partners and the Fund build a relationship through working together on innovative activities, giving advice, inspiration and support and sharing the experience of their networks.
Unlike one-off project proposals supported by the Prince Claus Fund, the Network Partnership programme establishes a longer, active partnership with an organisation that the Fund has already worked with and that has an interesting network. Each year two network partnerships are developed.
The partnership’s objectives consist of: extending and improving the networks of both partners in geographical areas and diverse disciplines that are difficult for one or the other to reach; developing high quality, innovative joint activities that require extra time and funding and cannot therefore be carried out under other funding schemes; and establishing an innovative and flexible collaboration between donor and recipient.
Selection procedure
The selection is composed of three phases covering a time period of almost 8 months.
A first selection is internally established by the Fund on the basis of geographical and disciplinary coverage in the programme. It is composed of organisations that have a track record (in terms of quality and accountability) with the Prince Claus Fund and who meet the Fund’ s standard selection criteria.
The second phase consists in asking the organisations to fill out an application form that allows them to describe their profile as well as the network they have and the one they wish to develop. It also gives them the opportunity to motivate their decision as to why their organisation would be an interesting network partner, what they would like to accomplish during a three year partnership, and why the Fund would be an interesting partner for them.
The last phase consists in having the Prince Claus Fund and the Committee of the Network Partners examine the application forms.
The average budget of a network partnership is € 180.000 for a period of three years.”
