Mr. Rajiv Louis: How can non-governmental organizations foster trust? Conservation organizations are increasingly seeking support from both government and private sources. Corporate philanthropy is expanding in Asia Pacific as well. Conservation-focused non-governmental organizations (NGOs) should be explicit about their goals in order to align their agendas with the goals of their donors, whether it's strengthening marine protected areas (MPAs) in Indonesia or safeguarding biodiversity and animals in the Philippines. It is vital that non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have a solid awareness of government policy in their host country. The ability to demonstrate a track record of coordinated work in-country while meeting the NGOs broad aims and objectives is priority number one in gaining donor trust.
