Partnerships in public health are built on identified strengths and assets including areas that need improvement. This means that the partners involved in the program will bring their unique skills, resources, and capabilities to the table, and work together to address the identified public health issues. This approach helps to leverage the collective impact of the partners, and ensures that the program is more effective in achieving its goals. Option A, B, and D are incorrect because partnerships are not always easily formed, partnerships do not use their own roles to accomplish tasks, and partnerships are not loose associations among people - they require clear objectives, structures, and governance mechanisms.
