“As a sector, we exist to do good, this is what our supporters, donors and the public expect of us, part of doing this good is also not doing bad as it abuses public trust. It is the role of regulation to prevent us from doing this badly.”

it’s not just getting elected that matters, it is to think about what’s going to come afterward once they do get the job. Also for you to see what you want from them and try to press upon them that they have those concerns of yours in their program.”

“One of the aims of the ACT programme is to bring everybody together; legislators, regulators, CSOs and others; and I think this conference is another opportunity to do this.”
