The Office of Global Partnerships (GP) is the direct link for the private sector to collaborate with the Department of State. With a department-wide mandate, our office institutionalizes best practices for partnership and private sector engagement. Offices, bureaus, embassies, and consulates across the Department initiate and implement public-private partnerships. Here are several examples of ongoing partnerships currently implemented by GP:
