Environment

• More institutional effectiveness, governance and accountability – governance structure for the sector

• Enhance quality of collaboration and collective efforts within the sector in addressing common prioritized issues

• Promote financial independencies and sustainability

• Reshape working approaches, not business as usual

Internal Demands

• Political landscape: Political polarisation, and weak political, democratic institutions, corruptions, shrinking space

• Socio-economic inequality: Patron-client business relationships, rapid economic growth-a lower middle-income country), socio-economic gap continues to be wide, and social norms and values have changed rapidly

• Conflict over resources: Land issues, mining, forestry, youth, etc.
