Help {{association_name}} map potential local partners for a new programme on {{programme_topic}}.

Return:
1. A list of the types of organisation to talk to (not named orgs — we'll name them)
2. For each type, what we'd ask them for, and what we can offer in return
3. Two partners we should be cautious about approaching first (e.g. those we'd compete with for funding) and how to sequence
