A partnership, once formed, acquires juridical personality separate and distinct from that of each of the partners. Therefore, a partnership may enter into binding contracts in its own name. Money, property and industry contributed into a common fund, whether invested at the time of formation or subsequent thereof becomes property of the partnership. Each partner shall be deemed co-owners of such property and shall have equal rights. Each partner shall also have a propriety interest in the partnership which represents their share in the earnings and in equity..
The basic characteristic of a partnership formation is that it is based on mutual trust and agency as between partners. Each partner has an equal right to act for the partnership and enter into contracts as long as it not prejudicial and within the scope of business operations. A partnership may be created for a fixed term or duration. If none is fixed, the partnership shall continue to be in such form so long as the partners do not express any will to terminate or disassociate themselves with the partnership. The theory is that no person can be compelled to continue his association or be a partner...
Consequently, any change in the relationship of the partners brought about by death, withdrawal, bankruptcy or incapacity causes the dissolution of the partnership, its liquidation and eventually its termination.
Each partner is held personally liable for all the obligations of the partnership. In case of unsatisfied debts, each partner's business and personal properties aside from those contributed may be used in settlement of the partnership liabilities. There is, however, a special type of partnership called "limited partnership" allowing its partners to limit their personal liability only to the extent of their capital contributions.

On a more general note, I believe that this article presents to us what partnership is about: i.e. The synergy of collaboration, where actions can be consolidated by pooling similar partners and have similar views. Coalitions can in fact execute multi-pronged interventions that coordinate different reinforcing services, strategies, and programs (Lasker, Weiss, and Miller, 2001).

This was one of the factors that led to the foundation of the EU, as small, less powerful nations united in an effort to gain and hold power in a collective effort (Tyldesley). Therefore, in the "Five Lenses" and especially so in the case of EU, power is in essence the coin of the realm. In other words, without holding a superior position to others, class structure would not
The Interplay Between Millennium Development Goals, Sustainable Development Goals, and Communicable DiseasesThe transition from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) marked a significant evolution in the global framework for addressing pressing social, economic, and environmental challenges.

Leadership is a challenging endeavor in any sector. In the public sector, however, leadership tends to be particularly more challenging. Public sector leaders often have to work with fewer resources to address increasingly complex challenges. In addition, effective leadership in the public sector is vital for not only driving employee motivation and performance, but also ensuring efficient performance of government agencies and the government in general (McCarthy, 2015). Indeed, leadership
Interagency partnerships have become embedded in procedure, policy, and organizational structure. Many interagency partnerships have become mandatory either formally as in law, or informally, as through executive decisions within agencies. Mandating interagency partnerships seems restrictive, but does present major advantages including the establishment of concrete protocols used for information sharing and communication. Rather than rely on tacit, ambiguous, or circumstantial partnerships, mandatory relationships enable the division of tasks and responsibilities
