The Fleet Safety project was developed in response to the needs of the members of the Fleet Forum, an informal collaborating body and independent knowledge centre for fleet management in the humanitarian sector. With the backing of the Danish government aid agency Danida, the project drew on the resources of government, the humanitarian sector and private companies to develop, test and disseminate a Road Safety Toolkit for humanitarian organisations operating in the developing world. The toolkit was tested within the Kenya offices of six major humanitarian organisations before the definitive version was to be disseminated and promoted globally. This case examines how a multi-sector partnership contributed to the Fleet Safety project's success, and how the partners overcame the challenges of co-ordination. It seeks to familiarise students with public-private partnerships as an innovative funding mechanism for humanitarian projects through government aid agencies, explain their benefits and challenges, and analyse negotiating in the humanitarian sector or within public-private partnerships.
