I've heard this from various people over the past few years, and I'm sure I've said it myself. I think it's a very backwards way of approaching improvisation.
The burden of "giving" is not on your scene partner. Read the thread on improv and awareness.
Do you have a scene partner? Great. Then how can they not be giving you anything? They exist. He/She (the actor at least) is alive. Someone sitting there doing nothing and saying nothing is still giving you something if you are aware. Don't sit there and wait for someone to give you some magical gift that sets up a beautiful scene. Open your senses and GET IT.
