This Workbook is the Rural-Urban Cost-Sharing Website in a step-by-step format that asks users questions and provides guidance about actions that could be taken during the development and implementation of a cost-sharing initiative. It is organized using the following “Stages” of a cost-sharing initiative:

• Relationship-building
• Research and Preparation
• Agreement Selection
• Negotiation
• Implementation and Communications
• Monitoring and Evaluation

The stages can overlap, and some tasks can be carried out in a different order than what appears here. The Workbook is not exhaustive, and does not dictate a path that must be followed in order to achieve a cost-sharing agreement. Rather, the suggestions provided here attempt to guide the user through the process of developing and implementing a cost-sharing agreement.
