Abstract

This study sheds light on the success factors of three partnership projects aimed at addressing social issues related to aging population. It focuses on three cases of different scales, each spanning over a decade of implementation. This study used qualitative methods, including data from in- depth interviews with key officials involved in the three projects, additional documents they shared, and publicly available information. This study explores the interplay within partnership project design and stakeholder dynamics to draw its findings. Three key success factors were identified across all cases. A diverse set of partners that complement each other, enabling structure with independent operations, and the presence of feedback and improvement protocols.
