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?
