Once a country has been identified, how do you proceed?
We hold an exploratory meeting with employers and other expert groups in the location to get a considered local opinion on the economic, social and political climate and whether the timing is right. If this is positive, we form a local network and steering committee to help us formulate a detailed plan to gather support from key stakeholders and approach the relevant ministries of the Government. We consider what local resources are necessary and available to proceed and, where necessary, Permits Foundation will send an international representative to join meetings with the authorities to bring a global perspective and provide comparative information and examples of best practice from other countries.
