MoI: There will be at least twice a year of Partnership Meeting between the Government and CSOs at National and Sub-national levels, so the issues faced by CSOs can be raised and discussed for solutions.

Sub-national administrative Governors will broadly share announcements and instruction of MoI on Partnership Meeting between CSOs & Governance among the provincial officers, so they will be able to collaborate and support NGOs to implement their activities.
CSOs are able to contact directly to Administrative Department, MoI for support/intervention in case of non-collaboration from sub-national administrative regarding the implementation of CSOs activities. (CCC will provide detail of MoI's contact in the next email.)
Participants: Will there be possible for CSOs representative to participate in Inter-Ministry Meeting on solving CSO's complaints and requests?
MoI: Inter-Ministry meeting is the platform for the Government discussion, so CSOs have chance to bring their suggestion/comments during Partnership Forum between CSOs and the Government.
Participants: Will their be tax exemption for social enterprise of CSOs?
Ministry of Economy&Finance: It will apply for Small and Medium Enterprise tax compliance. As the government encourages SME to register, so there will be three years tax exemption for SME (For detail of tax compliance inquiry, please kindly contact CCC).
