The procedures for establishing the collaborative network in conducting the missions are as follows: (1) Recognizing the importance of the problems and the needs for solving the problems in cooperation with the relevant sectors; (2) Seeking and negotiating with various sectors simultaneously; (3) Determining and assigning missions to collaborating partners to take responsibility appropriately; (4) Building mutual consent and trust; (5) Solving the problems and building mutual understanding; and (6) presenting the results of collaborative administration. The key factors resulting in the success of the collaborative administration in conducting the missions are the potential or the capacity of a person playing a key in the coordination with the Provincial Administrative Organization; and the potential or capacity of the main collaborative partnership network.
