Partnerships and Programs
This theme focused on the growing recognition that reducing drowning requires multi-sector interdiscplinary collaboration. Examples stretch from a community level all the way up to global partnerships.
This stream included a number of papers that focused on national drowning prevention plans, as well as program partnerships. This included the issue of development collaborations between high resource lifesaving agencies and those emerging in low income parts of the world.
The Partnerships and Programs theme was proudly sponsored by Commonwealth Lifesaving – The Royal Life Saving Society.
