自20世纪70年代以来，“伙伴关系”一直是参与国际发展的非政府组织之间关系的愿望。不幸的是，非政府组织之间几乎没有形成公平关系或真正的伙伴关系的能力。本文的第一部分将探讨其中的原因。新的国际援助政策议程强调以契约为基础的关系，这将使真正的伙伴关系更加难以实现。分析的第二部分认为，基于信任的真正的伙伴关系对发展仍然至关重要，并概述了非政府组织可能采取的一些步骤，以形成这种伙伴关系。然而，从长远来看，非政府组织必须从根本上重新思考自己的角色，这需要从资金链中的中介转变为组成公民社会的不同群体之间国际合作的促进者。不愿迈出这一步的非政府组织，如果继续用“伙伴关系”这个词来称呼实际上是装在重新贴上标签的公民瓶子里的陈年葡萄酒，可能会被归类为伪君子。
Since the 1970s, ‘partnership’ has been an aspiration for relationships amongst non-governmental organizations involved in international development (NGDOs). Unfortunately, NGDOs have shown little ability to form equitable relations, or true partnership, amongst themselves. The first part of this article examines why. The new policy agenda for international aid emphasizes contract-based relationships which will make real partnerships even more difficult to achieve. The second part of the analysis argues that trust-based authentic partnerships remain vital for development, and outlines some steps that NGOs might take towards forming them. In the long term, however, NGDOs must radically rethink their roles, which calls for a transformation from intermediaries in a funding chain to facilitators of international co-operation between the diverse groups which comprise civil society. NGDOs unwilling to take this step could be classified as hypocrites if they continue to employ the term ‘partnership’ for what is essentially old wine in re-labelled civic bottles.
