V. Bi-lateral Coordination:

Working with other people or linking / collaborating with other organization: Church organizations, NGOs, local organization strengthens our own work and can lead to a wider impact on society by “pooling our resources together ” and building links / relationship with others can:
• Influence other people or community more easily and make them aware of the
existing problems and needs to improve the quality of life and for initiating
constructive methods, structuring for the overall positive approach and long-term
solution.
• Increase the effectiveness of our own work, for example, by benefiting from the
skills and experience of other groups (NGOs or local organization)/ people.
• Widen the impact of our work, for example, by enabling our successes to be adapted
or replicated by Churches, government agencies and other partner NGOs.
• Overcoming threat / barriers to our activity, for example by helping to change laws
which allow companies, officials to dismiss prejudices or classification of HIV
infected person and other general employees.

It can be useful to form local partnership with other NGOs, government and community groups. Regular meeting and be in frequent in touch with such collections or individuals who work in similar areas, helps to share ideas and to cooperate on work. Networks with different organization or individuals can richly offer:
• The privilege / opportunity to compare ideas and experiences
• A forum for sharing information.
• A forum for collaborating on a specific activity.
• A collective voice to challenge people in decision making or powerful positions.
These networks may be groups working on a range of issues, but through experience, it was useful to make this personal contact and participation in network with other organizations provide technical support to develop our objectives.
