Social Sciences - International Org/Dev/Coop
Dutch term or phrase: Meerwaarde
Partners met meerwaarde
Ontwikkeling komt tot stand door een combinatie van factoren zoals initiatief, een betrouwbare en goed functionerende overheid, een veilige omgeving, een evenwichtig economisch beleid, gerichte investeringen van bedrijven en overheden, een eerlijke inkomensverdeling, een actief maatschappelijk middenveld, sociale cohesie, opbouw van kennis en sterke instituties. Dit hele terrein valt moeilijk te bedienen door één maatschappelijke organisatie. Ontwikkelingssamenwerking wordt in wezen steeds minder een op zichzelf staande sector. Het gaat om het ontwikkelen van de verschillende deelterreinen door professionele samenwerking. Bij de uitvoering van een programma dringt de vraag zich op welke partner de meeste meerwaarde heeft. Dat kan een maatschappelijke organisatie in het Zuiden zijn, maar ook andere partners zijn mogelijk.

valuable


Explanation:
The obvious translation would be "added value", but I don't think this would sound good in the context. I would translate the title as:

"Valuable partners"

The penultimate sentence could be something like this:

"An important question when implementing a programme is what partner can add the most [value] to it."

Explanation:
This is less ambiguous than for example "added value", which mainly occurs in financial contexts.
