The
Smart Partnership Dialogues are a brainchild of the Commonwealth
Partnership for Technology Management. The CPTM which is the social and
scientific interlinkage arm of the Commonwealth, has since 1995
undertaken in collaboration with willing national partners to provide a
forum that cuts across the east-west, have, have not’s and the developed
and developing dichotomy for the discussion of topical subjects in a
conducive inclusive, open dialogue. Inspired by the increasing need to
ensure a win-win interrelationship between actors, the CPTM, in
collaboration with the host country undertake to provide an ambient
setting where individuals from all walks of life and professions can
meet and hold serious discourse on selected subjects every two years.

To ensure that these dialogues are successful, a two pronged approach is utilized. The first is
when the host country convenes a National Dialogue. This involves the
gathering together of different sectors of the host community and coming
up with a topical issue that is not just locally relevant, but which
resonates internationally and merits a grander discourse and focus. The second is
when the Host country in collaboration with the CPTM plan for, invite
participants and hold an international open dialogue on the selected
topic, in essence, host aSMART DIALOGUE.
