• {{existing_partners}}: any current partners you want to build on.

Instructions

4. Provide a step-by-step approach to reaching out and establishing partnerships, including initial contact, formal agreements, and onboarding.
5. Recommend best practices for maintaining engagement and evaluating partnership effectiveness during and after a crisis.
