Formatted Abstract/Summary Successful public-private partnerships do not last eight years by chance. A partnership develops in the first place by defining and agreeing on common grounds and goals. As time goes by, the dynamics of any partnership must reinvent itself and will then prove enduring or not.

The Health Access to Research programme (HINARI) was conceived in early 2001 to offer developing country institutions free or nominal-cost access to the world's biomedical literature. Initially, HINARI was a partnership of six major commercial publishers and the World Health Organization. Eight years later, HINARI is one of three sister programmes, and the partnership has grown to include three United Nations agencies, Yale and Cornell universities, more than 150 publishers of all shapes and sizes, the International Association of STM Publishers, Microsoft Corporation, Ex Libris, and innumerable individuals and institutions who have become champions and ambassadors of the concept.

A number of cohesion principles have kept the HINARI partnership alive and vibrant including: respect; openness and transparency; flexibility and compromise; engagement and autonomy; and review and re-inspiration.
