Our CSO partners established CSO Forums at the local government level to bring together all stakeholders to discuss issues pertaining to taxes, public health, physical layout, &thoroughfares, public utilities, and welfare. A better understanding was created between the Local Government Authorities and Communities concerning the issues that each other face and they were resolved instantly. Committees were set up to probe the problems further to find root causes, and necessary remedial action was taken to resolve them.
