 Recommendations

 

1. Physical contacts of senior officials with RHD would not be replaced by just establishing a contact person's/ focal person's office in RHD. (Since, some time a physical contact can solve the crisis, which can not be solved by several letters, telephone calls emails and messages and also chances of communication gap and misunderstanding may be prevented).

 

2. Adding the number of partners should not decrease role of a partner. Mutual understanding should be kept maintained and strengthened. And, problems and constraints of a partner or person should be understood as well.
