Statement on Partners:<\/p>\n

AMAF identifies potential partners based on the specific health needs of the people of North and East
\nof Sri Lanka via personal member contacts, Tamil diaspora referrals, and monitoring of health
\nprograms and issues in Sri Lanka. AMAF assesses and selects partners based on shared interests
\nand alignment with AMAF vision, equity, mutual respect, accountability and transparency, impacting
\ngovernment regulations, capacity to deliver as well as capacity to safeguard vulnerable groups from
\nexploitation. These assessments are performed by AMAF staff who are in regular contact with
\npotential partners.<\/p>\n
AMAF and its partners have regular dialogue when coming together to plan and implement healthcare
\nprojects in North East Sri Lanka. AMAF members are identified to take responsibility on behalf of
\nAMAF. These members need to establish steady working partnerships.
\nAMAF will initially work with partners to jointly determine what the intended outcomes of the
\ncollaboration are and how the collaboration will work in practice.<\/p>\n
Where formal partnerships are entered into, then AMAF will strive to ensure that any agreement or
\nMemorandum of Understanding (MOU) cover basic expectations such as the shared goals; the defined
\ncontribution of each party; responsibilities of each side; contributions of each side covering both
\nfinancial and non-financial; mutual reporting and sharing of information including incident reporting ;
\ncommitment to prevent sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment.<\/p>\n
AMAF is committed to working with partners to improve their processes and capacity as part of project
\ndelivery as well as outside specific projects. This is done by AMAF staff visiting Sri Lanka on a regular
\nbasis to provide training, mentoring, guidance, policy development and recommendations on
\nimprovements. It is also done by constant communication with partner staff during project
\nimplementation.<\/p>\n
AMAF will periodically review the effectiveness of partnerships, preferably done jointly with the partner,
\nto determine if pre-agreed outcomes have been met on a timely basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
