The event explored critical issues affecting the non-governmental sector through presentations, panel discussions, and interactive activities:

● Presentation of research findings on the current situation and main challenges facing NGOs

● Panel discussion on what NGOs need to stay sustainable and the role of institutions in addressing identified problems

● World café interactive session on how organizations can cope internally with challenges

● Collaborative dialogue on building stronger support systems for the NGO sector

The event brought together representatives from various organizations to share experiences, identify common challenges, and explore solutions for strengthening the non-governmental sector. 

Discussions emphasized the importance of institutional support, internal organizational resilience, and cross-sector collaboration.

Connect International was grateful for the invitation and valued the opportunity to contribute to these important conversations. As challenges facing NGOs become increasingly complex – from funding constraints to regulatory pressures – collaboration across the sector becomes essential. Events like “Shaping the Future” create vital spaces for organizations to learn from each other, identify collective solutions, and build the partnerships needed to sustain impactful work serving communities and advancing social change.
