6. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Inclusive Mobility Network Organizational Meeting held at Faber Hall Function Room, Ateneo de
Manila University Loyola Heights Quezon City last 4 February 2014, was attended by a total of 54
individuals coming from different sectors. Each represents a total of 24 various organizations. About
13% of the participants came from the community, 30% from the government (national and local), 9%
were members of persons with disability, while the remaining 48% were from the academe, private
sector, NGOs and CSOs. With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, this event was organized by the
Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia) Program under the Inclusive
Mobility Project of the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG).
The program formally started by the welcome remarks from Dr. Segundo Romero, Project Director of
Inclusive Mobility Project. He marked this day as the end of the Inclusive Mobility (IM) Project but the
birth of the Inclusive Mobility Network, a community with different individual advocacies but has a
unified voice in terms of inclusive mobility emphasizing the accessibility of the poor and vulnerable to
livelihood, work, public services and other activities. This network was born through a series of meetings
and workshops aiming to give the vulnerable groups equal access. He highlighted that the network is not
an adversarial network rather a group seeking solution to problems on inclusive mobility in which all
sector is duly represented. This meeting aims to organize an executive council to work on formalizing
the network by registering it under the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The draft IM Action Plan was presented as a result of the series of meetings and workshops using a
participatory and consultative process. The action plan would serve as a guide in determining the right
projects and aid for policy making in advancing a more sustainable transport and livable cities. Some of
the pressing points raised were: the need to come up with an immediate communication plan to
disseminate the plan to a wider audience; strengthen the tripartite partnership of the government;
private sector and community groups for the plans to transpire; involve more experts in the planning
process that would yield to a more strategic program as one Metro Manila; and, changing mindsets
involved in the action plan should include a paradigm shift of kids and the youth by spreading
information through the education sector. The IM Action Plan was perceived a dream come true for the
vulnerable sector especially the PWDs as they are given voice and their opinions mattered. The IM
Network is also key in allowing the government to access relevant data in transport, helping each other
toward a common goal and in giving the overall picture of sustainable transport.
The proposed structure and form of the IM Network was also presented and provisionally approved by
the members. It was followed by the election of the interim Executive Council. There were four
nominees from the marginalized sector, seven candidates from the community road users sector, eight
prospects from the media, NGO and academe group, four choices from the private sector and seven
nominees from the government. The election rules was established using a constructive participatory
process which resulted into selecting Ms. Tina Velasco (government), Mr. Cyrus Velega (marginalized),
Mr. Rally de Leon (private), Mr. Quin Cruz (community road users), Ms. Vicky Segovia (NGO), Ms. Karen
Crisostomo (NGO), Ms. Lalaine Guanzon (marginalized), Mr. Ryan Sumo (private), Ms. Dinna Dayao
(media), and Mr. Bert Suansing (private) to serve a 2-year term of office. While Ms. Elsie de Veyra
(marginalized), Mr. Pio Fortuno (community road users), Mr. Yeb Saño (government), Ms. Louie Golla

7. (community road users), Mr. Liberato Requima (government) will serve a 1-year term of office. It was
agreed that five other additional representatives from the list of nominees would be named by the
Executive Council.
In his closing remarks, Dr. Romero urged everyone to be tolerant with one another and render respect
and diplomacy in dealing with the other sectors as part of the network. He underlined that this is no
longer an IM project team output but the project of all members as the ideas come from everyone. The
IM project team would serve as the secretariat, which will assist the rising of the IM network logistically.
He encouraged all to locate their specific advocacies in the big IM picture for the network to work as a
whole.

WORDS OF WELCOME
Dr. Segundo Romero, Executive Director, iBoP Asia
Dr. Romero was happy to declare that this day
was the end of the inclusive mobility project and
the birth of a new system of inclusive mobility
known as a network. This network was not born
overnight, it is a product of a series of meetings
and workshops conducted by the inclusive
mobility project. He gave a quick run through of
the process that the Inclusive Mobility Network
went through.
During the first meeting entitled Metro Manila
Transport Challenge Workshop held last 12
September 2013 at the ISO Conference Room at the Ateneo De Manila University, the Inclusive Mobility

9. project team conducted a diagnostic workshop with major stakeholders to determine the problems in
sustainable transport. The second meeting entitled Inclusive Mobility Initiatives Mapping Workshop held
last 17 October 2013 at the Faber Hall Conference Room at the Ateneo De Manila University discussed
the solutions to the issues raised in the first meeting. It was in these two meetings that inclusive
mobility was introduced.
This meeting was meant to organize an interim executive council to be formalized and registered
through the Securities and Exchange Commission. The idea of having an inclusive mobility community or
group is for the government to have someone to approach or talk to about anything related to inclusive
mobility. The idea was unthinkable since each member has their own advocacies but the Inclusive
Mobility Network brought them together under a unified voice. Dr. Romero reiterated that the Inclusive
Mobility Network is not meant to be adversarial rather a solution seeking group that shed more light
than heat on having a more sustainable and inclusive transport system. And though most of the
members are from the NGO and CSO sector, the concept of inclusivity implies that everyone (all sectors)
should be represented in the network. In line with this, Dr. Romero welcomed everyone present in the
meeting today and hoped that they all remain until the end of the program especially during the
election of the Executive Council.
PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT INCLUSIVE MOBILITY ACTION PLAN
Mr. Lorenzo Cordova Jr., Research Associate, Inclusive Mobility Project
Mr. Cordova highlighted the importance of
having a critical partnership in communicating
with one another. The Inclusive Mobility
project team compiled the result of the series
of meetings and workshops into an Inclusive
Mobility Action Plan. Two short videos were
shown for the benefit of those who were not
present during the first two meetings. The
videos showed the highlights and what
transpired during the workshops. The entire
solution-seeking process involved a series of
workshops to determine the issues,
challenges, initiatives that may not even
require new policies and opportunities facing the transport sector. The process aimed towards
determining the elements for visioning the future of transportation and mobility in Metro Manila. Lastly,
the process identified champions or advocates for a better transport system. The end product is an
action plan.
The overriding goal of the IM Action Plan is to look beyond the problem of traffic. It has the following
four main objectives:
1. To broaden and make more inclusive the process of diagnosing and designing solutions for
Metro Manila's mobility problems;

10. 2. To increase the overall quality of the mobility system in Metro Manila by ensuring that
adequately serves even the poor, the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, the marginalized, and the
voiceless Metro Manilans;
3. To encourage multi-sector partnership in attaining collective impact in solving Metro Manila
problem; and
4. To create an inclusive Metro Manila mobility system that will serve as a key foundation for
enhancing livability and sustainability of Metro Manila as one of the world's premiere
metropolitan center.
The strategic framework of the action plan involves having all stakeholders in one place to talk: the
government, private sector and the community. It signifies a multi-dimensional solution as it involves
the four aspects: mobility, safety, productivity, and civility.
The IM community envisions inclusive mobility in Metro Manila as a safe, seamless, well connected,
accessible, and user-friendly Metro Manila sustainable urban transport system that works for all Metro
Manilans, especially the poor, the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, and the marginalized.
Inclusive mobility outcomes are grounded on a multi-sectoral network of Metro Manilans actively
partnering with the government, private sector and civil society. It is categorized according to the
aspects of mobility where enhanced mobility is defined as achieving travel purposes at the least cost and
travel time; enhanced safety is travelling with least risk of loss of life, limb and property; enhanced
productivity is generating higher peoduction of goods and services as a result of less travel cost, effort

11. and time; and lastly enhanced civility is having enhanced courtesy, discipline, and contribution to an
engaging and encouraging travel and mobility environment. The indicators of each aspect and their
desired outcomes were presented by Mr. Cordova.
The entire action planning process involved three significant steps: 1) identification and diagnosis of
problems, issues, and concerns; 2) Design of strategies, programs, and initiatives; and 3) prioritization of
actions to be taken.
The identification and diagnosis stage was classified into various perspectives: outcome, multidimensional, and modal. Outcome perspective tackled the four aspects of mobility which centers on
issues/ challenges among motorists and non-mototized transport road users; challenges to commuters,
pedestrians and PWDs; and issues among lawmakers and enforcers. Multi-dimensional perspective
looked at the different dimensions of physical, economic, social, environmental, institutional and
technological while modal perspective described the challenges per transportation mode: train (PNR,
MRT, LRT), bus, jeepney, AUV, private vehicles, tricycles, and bicycles.
The strategies, programs and initiatives of the IM network used a ten-point strategy as follows:
1. Making the transport system work for the poor and vulnerable which aims to lower transport
fares and find ways to improve day-to-day experience of public transport users.
2. Designing the city to be walkable, bike-able and accessible which aims to create a healthier
community with more walkable and pedestrian friendly spaces.
3. Moving people, not vehicles desires urban transport to move the majority of the city's
population. This entails building more efficient transport system that connects people with their
jobs, health care, education, and other basic needs.
4. Ensuring mobility with safety & civility which pertains to strict implementation of laws while
safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the general public who uses the public transport
system. On the other hand, the general pubic has an important role in performing its duties as a
good citizen.
5. Promoting clean air, clean streets, clean vehicles, & clean facilities to enhance public health and
reducing environmental degradation caused by pollution from the transport sector. This also
includes the promotion for the use of new technologies as alternative to fossil fuel based
transport modes.
6. Planning and communicating better and travelling less which aims to advance an effective
planning process that competently allocates resources, and helps decision makers and transport
users prioritize transport activities that reduce the need for personal travel and provide
alternative transportation options. It also aims to advance an effective planning process that
competently allocates resources, and helps decision makers and transport users prioritize
transport activities that reduce the need for personal travel and provide alternative
transportation options.
7. Sharing information to increase connectivity and accessibility by leveraging on the use of
technology. Public sharing of information enables alternative and out-of-the-box options and
solutions.
8. Making our neighborhoods more accessible to the rest of the city with the aim on how to
inrease or create higher levels of neighborhood connectivity.

12. 9. Changing mindsets and behaviors - the authorities' as well as ours pushing for a paradigm shift
to a more comprehensive transportation system. It deviates from "traffic as the problem" to
finding mobility solutions.
10. Attaining the mobility of all by engaging all especially the poor since they are the most affected
whenever there are changes/projects in the transport sector. Thus, the IM Network offers an
online platform to give them voice and to facilitate suggestions and recommendations.
Priority actions to be taken were identified as key initiatives that can be implemented by the IM
Network in the short-term or a period of one year. The following were identified as the key initiatives
and their current state:

Metro Manila
Needs to harness transport governance research to get indicators and
determine what the proper engagement for the network
Needs to be utilized for all elements to be used
Have yet to be established
Identify who else should be included and whether the network can be
expanded to other major cities not just Metro Manila
Need to be planned well. An example would be the current petition that
calls for public officials to commute at least once a month.
Being done by some members but network members need to be more
visual in the media for public exposure
Need to be planned
The roles of the government, private and civil society sectors were also presented by Mr. Cordova. He
said that the government should constantly collaborate with the private, non-profit and philanthropic
sectors. They should influence the private sector investments to work towards sustainable urban
transport and encourage investments in sustainable transport infrastructures. The private sector comes
in as funding support for the government. They should find adequate resources to help cities finance
infrastructure and deliver adequate services. This is where the public private partnership mechanisms
also come in. Civil society has a lot of roles because it varies in nature. Civil society should lead in
activities that change mindsets and behaviors of transport users, private sector and decision-makers.
They also generate specific actions and participate in independent monitoring and evaluation programs
and projects and in data gathering for sound decision-making. They can also accumulate and share
knowledge, capacity, skills and networks.
The plan wanted the strategies, programs and initiatives to be programmatic and sequential, hence the
inclusion of an IM action program that improves physical connectivity, improve communication and
encourage transport user contribution to overall mobility. All of the outcomes and programs presented

13. earlier were organized into the action programs such as: Inclusive Safety Action Program, Inclusive
Productivity Action Program, and Inclusive Civility Action Program each with suggested key actions of
the government, private, and civil society sectors.
This Action Plan presented is open to suggestions, comments, and critical opinions from all sectors for
improvement. Everyone was given a printed copy for review.
OPEN FORUM
The floor was opened for comments, suggestions and reactions from the participants.
Most of the participants commended the IM project team for the very comprehensive action plan and in
helping create an IM community that represents inclusivity in all aspects. The expansion of the IM
network involves making it a stronger organization that puts everybody together to work and think as
one.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SPECIFIC TO
THE ACTION PLAN:





The immediate strategies perhaps
need to detail a communication plan
to make the network and action plan
known to a wider audience.
The role and task of the government
sector should undertake a careful and
thoughtful planning. This has been
missing for the longest time.
The private sector's role should not
only help in mobilizing resources but
also include not taking advantage of the situation by raising fees or fares. They should apply the
real essence of public-private partnership. PPP happens in both ways.
"Drenched in sweat moving from point A to point B" found in the action plan pertaining to
cycling is not necessary.
"Bicycles can only safely transport one person..." also found in the action plan should take into
consideration pedicabs which can transport more than one person.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE IM NETWORK:

Make the network stronger because of the avalanche of activities as a result of building the IM
community. The challenge is to be able to put things together. Invite more experts into putting
everything into a strategic plan that makes the rest in the government and private sector see IM
in a simplistic way that calls for the urgency to take actions already. Metropolitan Manila
Development Authority (MMDA), Pasig and Makati are all putting things together but there is no
agenda that works for one whole Metro Manila. There is a need to be smarter in making plans
and to communicate well.

14.  PWDs are happy for the representation that they
now enjoy. Their representation in many IM activities
opened doors and brought awareness to many National
Government Agencies (NGAs) that PWDs are part of the
society and needs attention. Their rights are given voice
through the IM Network.
 Since there is no existing CSO that acts to address
the needs pertaining to the transport sector, the majority of
the CSO representation in the IM Network is a great
opportunity. There are many proposals by the government
on creating more infrastructures but the IM Network is
CSO's opportunity to show the government facts and data
to compel a paradigm shift for everyone including other
CSOs. All sectors have various individual advocacies but do
not speak as one so the IM Network clearly helps in giving
inclusive mobility a voice.
 Tap the Department of Education by sending them
flyers and representatives from our network to talk to students and parents during PTAs in order
to make them aware of what the network is doing. The last Monday of March is declared as
disability day, this can be the good time to talk to students about IM and promote inclusivity in
transport.
OTHER POINTS RAISED:
 Study all roads (east to west, north to south) and consider
constructing separate roads for the exclusive use of public and
private vehicles (a road where private vehicles only can ply).
 Study whether motorcycle (MC) lanes in major
thoroughfares could be exclusive to motorcycles. MMDA placed a
motorcycle lane with an understanding that this is a private lane
for motorcycles however, other vehicles overtaking in the lane
compromises the safety of MC riders. The government calls it
reserved lane but road users have different interpretation. We
understand that infrastructure is lacking but the IM network can
help in the safety of MC riders.
 Study the option of opening subdivisions to MCs for traffic
decongestion.
 Changing mindsets should also include the young by
spreading communication through the education sector.
 The safety issue of MC riders caused by the rampant
incidence of crimes committed by motorcycle riding in tandem.
 There is hope to continue and encourage MC riders to
undergo safety seminars because of increasing number of MC users. There is a need to impose
discipline and responsibility on MC riders in plying the roads of Metro Manila.

15. 

Some LGU policies are inconsistent with national policies. For example, Batas Pambansa 344
states that roads should be accessible to PWDs but some subdivisions do not follow. Another
example is wearing a helmet. It is required for MC riders but some subdivisions impose a "no
helmet allowed inside the subdivision" policy, which the LGU could do nothing about.
Share the Road Movement will file a petition on the Writ of Kalikasan on 13 February 2014 and
is encouraging everyone to share their experiences and get their story across. These stories
would make their advocacy more compelling. The writ invoked during one of their
environmental law class would oblige the government to strictly enforce all environmental laws
and specific provisions on road sharing. It also urges everybody to allocate spaces for cyclists
and runners too. It does not aim to eliminate motor vehicles but encourage other people to use
other modes of transportation to lessen the environmental impact of motorized transport.
RESPONSE BY THE IM PROJECT TEAM
Dr. Danielle Guillen said that part of
the reason for building an IM Network
is to reach out to all sectors including
the government sector. The idea of
forming an IM Network aside from
raising issues is to find solutions to
these issues. She acknowledged that
traffic is not only due to the number of
vehicles plying the road but also
because of the lack of connectivity to
private subdivisions. From each
community, individuals must realize
that everyone has a role. There do exist
technologies that could help identify
transport issues and concerns (i.e. CCTV cameras) and there are lobbyists who rally to help the
government and find solutions to the existing problems. She encouraged everyone to be champions for
the sector and avoid blaming the other.
Dr. Romero said that the open forum clearly showed that the IM network is composed of a diverse set of
people and organizations. It involves all sectors and he was happy that representatives from the
government (LGU and NGA) were always present because their presence is crucial in every meeting. He
recognized that their role is difficult because the network is composed largely of CSO/NGO and the
government is always in the minority. The government's attendance is pivotal so ideas from the group
would not fall under the extreme. The government provides the necessary balance and perspective to
the group. Tyranny of the minority is avoided by having a permanent set of government representatives
every time.
Dr. Romero cited MMDA as a government institution share a similar agenda with IM. In fact, MMDA's
plan has portions on mobility, safety, civility and productivity. They have started to separate the
perspective of mobility on their plans and programs however, since traffic and transport management is
part of their mandate, they could not zero in on mobility alone.

16. The main contribution of the IM group is to give the big picture on sustainable transport in Metro
Manila. Dr. Romero urged all to look at their activities and individuals and locate their specific
advocacies in the big picture. The outputs of the group are no longer outputs of the IM project but the
product of every member. All ideas came from every member through a participatory solution seeking
process. The IM project team serves as a midwife1 giving birth to the IM Network. The project team will
not leave soon as the project ends, they will continue to listen and to provide resources for the
network's activities. IM becomes the network of organizations and individuals and no longer the project.

24. ORGANIZATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON CSO NETWORKS
MODEL NETWORK: PARTNERSHIP FOR CLEAN AIR
Vicky M. Segovia, Executive Director
As a model network organization of a CSO network, Ms. Segovia presented the structure of Partnership
for Clean Air (PCA). PCA's structure is similar to the IM network in terms of its composition of mostly
CSO members and it being an advocacy network.
She presented the history of the
organization saying how PCA evolved from
the Lead-Free Coalition to the Coalition for
Cleaner Fuels to being PCA in June 8, 2001.
PCA was registered to be a legal entity with
the Securities and Exchange Commission
and incorporated as a non-stock, nonprofit corporation on November 23, 2003.
The PCA secretariat operations was initially
funded by a US-AEP grant in the first 6
months. The Asian Development Bank
(ADB) funded the consultants that made
up the secretariat and all operations,
overheads and projects for 2.5 years. Pilipinas Shell and Manila Observatory supported the core
operations of the PCA secretariat in subsequent years up to 2009. PCA is a national network of Clean Air
Asia in the Philippines.
In line with its mission and objectives of promoting air quality management, PCA as an organization
serves the following functions:






Coordinative as it coordinates air quality activities of members and stakeholders.
Supportive as it supports members and stakeholders in air quality activities.
Innovative as it undertakes activities in new areas of air quality management.
Participative as it continues to promote air quality management as a multi-stakeholder effort.
Responsive as it runs an efficient organization in order to be more responsive to the needs of its
members and stakeholders.
Transparent as it conducts activities and operations in a transparent manner.
PCA members comprise representation from the government, development agencies and various CSOs,
NGOs and the academe.
Ms. Segovia also presented they past key achievements in program development, capacity-building,
and social mobilization. She also showed key activities that includes annual forum on clean air,
assemblies, steering committee meetings, recruitment of clean air champions, car-free days, tricycle
upgrading project, eco/ clean fleet management, eco-driving seminars for government offices,
environmentally sustainable transport system, feasibility study of tricycle upgrading using e-trikes,
lobbied for Green Philippine Development Plan, Electric Vehicle Alliance of the Philippines (EVAP),

25. electric vehicle summit, and produce national air quality status report. They were also proud to say that
in 2013, they had been officially accepted as member of the Foundation for Sustainable Societies, Inc.
(FSSI). One of PCA's priority projects from 2013 until 2015 is the promotion of non-motorized transport
such as biking and walking. In the future, PCA hopes to continue their clean air advocacies, search for
alternative clean technologies, and be the center for training on clean cities program.
IM NETWORK ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN:
THE WHOLE MUST BE MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS
Dr. Segundo Romero
Dr. Romero presented a proposed structure of the IM network with the goal of being the primary
advocate of mobility of all, by all, for all in Metro Manila.
In terms of membership, the project team proposed for the IM Network to have member organization
with individual members admitted according to rules that the Executive Council may provide. The IM
Network should be deliberately and unashamedly biased in favor of the poor, the vulnerable, the
disadvantages, and the marginalized Metro Manilans. Representation in the structure of the
organization should reflect this bias. The multi-sector representation in the Inclusive Mobility Network
is solely a mechanism for providing adequate information, ideas, insights, and perspectives from other
sectors, for making the strategies, policies, actions, and decisions of the Inclusive Mobility Network
consistent with the general welfare of all Metro Manilans. Representatives of the disadvantaged,
community road-users, NGOs, the private sector, and the government in the Inclusive Mobility Network
shall, as far a possible, represent their respective sectors (disadvantaged, community, NGOs, private
sector, government) and not solely as representatives of their respective organizations. The idea is for
them to contribute collectively towards a more inclusive mobility in Metro Manila.
The Executive Council is proposed to finalize the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the IM
Network. They will be the incorporators of the Network when registered through the Philippine
Securities and Exchange Commission. Those who will be elected as Executive Council members in this
meeting shall serve as the first set of officers of the IM network for two years (February 2014 - February
2016). The Council is expected to elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman and the initial members shall
have staggered terms where half will serve for the full two-year terms and the other half for one year.
Membership in the Executive Council shall have the Executive Director of the IM Network as an exofficio member. The Executive Council is proposed to have the following composition:
QUANTITY

PERCENTAGE

accident victims, youth)
Community-based organizations, road-users/ commuters

Private sector
Government (national/ local)
TOTAL

26. The criteria for choosing members of the Executive Council includes:
1. Accepts the vision of IM for Metro Manila;
2. Able and willing to contribute personal effort for enhancing IM in Metro Manila; and
3. Able to provide sector perspective in the service of overall inclusive mobility in Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, the IM Project Team shall serve as the interim Secretariat until the project ends in May
2014, hence, they cannot be nominated nor elected as part of the Executive Council. But soon as the
project ends, they will all serve as members of the IM Network. The IM Project Director shall serve as
the interim Executive Director until the project terminates.
The proposed election rules and procedure were as follows:




Sector categories will be formed on the display gallery: (1) Marginalized, (2) Community roadusers, (3) NGO, academe, media (4) Private sector, (5) Government sector
No two council members shall come from the same organization/agency/community
Nominations for each category will be made for each sector (in the sequence above) using
metacards
Voting at large will be done using colored sticker dots
The adoption of the IM logo and tag line was also proposed as an interim arrangement to serve its
purpose on upcoming events and in the implementation of the Network’s Communication and Action
Plans.
NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE COUNCIL
The nomination and election was done in a participatory manner where the participants get to comment
and suggest how the election should be done.

27. The participants were asked to nominate as many members as they could and every nominee agreed to
willingly serve the network as an executive council member. (See attachment for actual number of
nominations) The nominees per sector were as follows:

members during the meeting. After which the council will decide on the additional five with the end and
view of balancing the representation of all sectors in the council. This will serve as a permanent election
rule for the succeeding elections. A tie between Liberato Requioma and Violeta Seva from the
government sector called for a revote. The voting resulted into Liberato Requioma getting elected. 2
Then the 15 who got the highest votes got elected as the 15 interim executive council members. The
fifteen were ranked according to the person with the highest votes to the lowest to determine the
number of years they will serve as council members. The top 10 elected members shall serve for two

CLOSING REMARKS
Dr. Segundo Romero
As closing remarks, Dr. Romero urged everyone to be tolerant with one another and render respect and
diplomacy in dealing with the other sectors as part of the network. For this big network of organizations
to last longer, conflict should be avoided and patience and democracy must be exercised at all times.

29. The election of government representatives as part of the Executive Council is serendipity because they
have sympathy to CSOs so their role is critical as a balancing act. This is to demonstrate to all
government sector representatives down the road that constructive engagement and true essence of
partnership is the way to go.
He underlined that this is no longer an IM project team output but the project of all members as ideas
come from every member. The IM project team would serve as the Secretariat, which will assist the
rising of the IM Network logistically. He encouraged all to locate their specific advocacies in the big IM
picture for the network to work as a whole.
