The MSP Tool Guide is a  companion to the MSP Guide: How to Design and Facilitate Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships. This Tool Guide offers 60 process tools serving different purposes in the facilitation of multi-stakeholder partnerships.

The tools in the guide are grouped by six purposes – connection, issue exploration and shared language, divergence, co-creation, convergence, and commitment – inspired by the work of Sam Kaner (2014) and the Rockefeller Foundation’s GATHER guide. These purposes often coincide with a particular stage of a multi-stakeholder partnership: connecting, for example, will usually happen at the start.

The Tool Guide explores in-depth 60 participatory tools for analysis, planning, and decision-making that are aimed at empowering practitioners to more effectively facilitate multi-stakeholder partnerships.
