Document background
The Memorandum of Administrative Arrangement is a crucial document in Hong Kong's public sector governance framework, designed to formalize administrative relationships between government bodies, departments, or statutory organizations. It serves as a formal yet flexible instrument for establishing operational protocols, resource sharing arrangements, and collaborative frameworks. This document type is particularly useful when two or more public sector entities need to work together on ongoing projects, share resources, or coordinate services, while maintaining compliance with Hong Kong's administrative law requirements. It differs from more rigid contractual agreements by focusing on administrative cooperation rather than creating legally binding obligations. The memorandum typically includes detailed operational procedures, resource allocation mechanisms, and reporting structures, while remaining adaptable to changing administrative needs.
