Scope of the intended partnership
Specifically: The secretariat will provide, at its premises in Bonn, Germany, its written-off high-end user and back-end ICT equipment, to the partner as a donation. The partner will collect all of the equipment at no cost to the secretariat, transport it to its facilities and refurbish or recycle and distribute it in a socially responsible manner. The partner will ascertain environmentally and socially sustainable downstream use and, eventually, dispose of the donated equipment and report to the secretariat accordingly. There will be no financial transactions between the parties. The ICT equipment will be donated by the secretariat and taken over and removed by the partner at no cost to the secretariat. Each partner covers any own costs incurred in that context. This partnership may serve as a model for other organizations; both parties will strive to share information on it. The partnership, in principle, can be open-ended.
