Experts from MADANI’s provincial support partner Lembaga Studi Kebijakan Publik (LSKP) trained attendees on the participatory approach model and the importance of community involvement, regulatory frameworks, and how to identify policy enablers and vulnerable groups. Thirty-eight people, representing five village governments, the district planning and development agency, front line agencies, and the extended CSO network, attended the workshop. With this new skillset, local CSOs are now more effective at drafting impactful regulations and creating inclusive villages.
