“…In their seminal work on appraising HEI-community partnerships, (Plummer et al, 2022) delineate a robust framework designed to comprehensively evaluate the dynamics and outcomes of collaborations between higher education institutions and their community counterparts. Central to this framework are three critical pillars: assessment, which scrutinizes the partnership's current performance against predefined benchmarks; monitoring, which involves ongoing observation to track progress towards achieving strategic objectives; and evaluation, aimed at discerning the partnership's broader effectiveness and impact on society (Plummer et al, 2022). This integrative approach, as articulated by Plummer et al (2022), not only facilitates a thorough appraisal of the partnerships but also underscores the necessity for continuous improvement, accountability, and transparency, thereby enhancing the value brought forth by these collaborations.…”

This review examines the crucial role of community partnerships in enhancing online education at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It highlights how these collaborations can address unique challenges faced by HBCUs, offering insights into successful models and best practices for developing impactful partnerships. The significance of community partnerships lies in their potential to broaden access, improve curriculum relevance, and support student success, contributing to educational equity and innovation at HBCUs. The literature underscores the multifaceted benefits of such partnerships, including resource and technology access, alignment of educational programs with workforce needs, and comprehensive student support. Despite these advantages, the review identifies gaps in empirical research specifically linking community partnerships to online education enhancements at HBCUs, indicating a need for further study. In summary, community partnerships emerge as essential for advancing online education at HBCUs, providing a pathway towards educational equity and societal development. The review encourages policymakers, educators, and community leaders to foster these collaborations, leveraging their transformative potential for the benefit of HBCU students and the broader community.

“…Asset connection is a particularly powerful part of ABCD in the context of CBR, where partnerships between academic institutions and communities are common. These partnerships are usually begun with great hope, but often run into many problems, such as 'terminological and conceptual differences, multiple perspectives and ways of knowing, inconsistency about what constitutes success, and measurement messiness' (Plummer et al 2022). The ABCD approach helps to cut through this potential morass by providing a clear framework for identifying the unique strengths of all involved, both researchers and community members.…”

This article analyses a case study for which an asset-based community development (ABCD) orientation was used to conduct community-based research (CBR). The community in question is, unusually, a digital community comprised of people who sell handmade crafts and vintage goods through digital marketplace platforms. This project, headed by a team of one academic and one community organiser, demonstrates a process by which CBR can be initiated by a community itself in order to effect change in the structural inequalities with which they are faced. To do so, we argue that community members’ expertise is a key asset, both individually and when collectivised through the research process. Involving community members in research on this basis helps change the way they look at themselves and their situation, and strengthens the bonds of this virtual community.

“…In this regard, Lu et al (2022) presents that the establishment of alliances between different universities and different actors can be considered as strategic to address sustainable development, given the different contexts through which they are linked. The impact generated from these consists of an important part both for achieving the SDGs and for the community itself that is involved (Plummer et al, 2022).…”

The establishment of partnerships between universities and communities can significantly support the implementation of initiatives related to sustainability as a whole and help to realize some of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Despite the usefulness of mapping of partnerships, there is a perceived necessity for studies, which may shed some light on these interactions, and the many advantages they offer. Against this background, this paper reports on a study which has assessed the extent to which partnerships between universities and communities may assist in achieving the SDGs. Methodologically, by means of a bibliometric analysis and the use of a set of enlightening case studies, the paper introduces some of the partnerships being implemented today and draws the lessons learned, which may be helpful in future initiatives. A total of eight initiatives are presented and discussed during the paper. The results suggest that more joint efforts are needed, as part of efforts to accelerate the implementation of the SDGs at the university level, including a list of measures that Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) could apply to address those goals. Overall, this research contributes to the sustainability area by providing empirical evidence, insights, and recommendations for fostering partnerships between universities and communities. It adds to the existing body of knowledge and understanding of how collaborative efforts can contribute to sustainable development and the achievement of the SDGs.
