The current legislative framework has created a complex not-for-profit environment. Such an environment calls for constant practical support to inspire all stakeholders in this sector. Luckily, there are various forums and activities that bring together all thought leaders under one roof.
This helps the entire sector move in one direction as well as dialogue with the government to improve service delivery. Each of these activities inspires stakeholders to interact as well as gain inspiration from the achievements of others.
