Action-specific Partnership
A Model Consulate will promote action-specific partnership among businesses, civil society, government and international agencies of both countries of origin and destination.
For instance, a tripartite partnership among government, IT industry and civil society can bring innovation and scale in grievance redress mechanism, information communication and service delivery; while partnership among CSOs-UN and Govts of both countries can ensure justice across borders. It will be built on the existing partnerships, and will be expanded exploring new partnerships.
