Abstract
Often the conventional basis for collaboration is a perception of similar need and/or convergent initiatives. As useful as such collaboration may be, building a partnership on common needs but different initiatives may be more useful. It could build on the complementarity of experience and expertise, as well as the commonalties. Divergent legacies and orientations may point to the richest areas for learning through cross-fertilisation to facilitate transfer of insights and expertise.Keywords
