citizens and citizen groups and vice versa

inter alia, in the following ways:

follow-up activities
h) Involve other organizations and individuals in our
endeavours as needed
i) Review yearly the implementation of M-PAC and make public
the contents of the review
j) Display activities of M-PAC on ACB and Karmayog websites

objectives
