Looking ahead - (Katherine Marshall)
1. Need to build bridges where Developmental Institutions are open to partnerships.
2. Dialogue between development and FBO’s needs to address issues that divide them, i.e. working groups to define issues, explore differences, build common ground.
3. Need for FBO’s to become full partners to eliminate corruption, a corrosive phenomenon and… for obstacle to development, through better governance.
4. Involvement of women and young people in setting agendas for meetings,……, work progresses, decision processes.
5. Implement joint action on:
Pressing for every girl to attend school, to stay there, help them to succeed, oppose marriage of young children, speak with outrage against violence in home and institutions.
