Rationale:
Rationale for an Indo Global Ngo Forum:
1. Rationale for a forum. The new era of regional cooperation will be unconstrained by the baggage of the North-South divisions. A think-tank network can influence rule-shaping from the inside and outside as important participants in international diplomacy. The influence and impact of a coalition of trans-national CSOs will be greater than individually.
2. As a global strategic and commercial hub, the future of the Indo Global Ngo Forum will be founded on regional stakeholders joining forces with each other as a coalition of democracies. A forum ofCSOs from like-minded countries will be an important pillar to strengthen democratic values in the region. CSOs are key stakeholders in democracy. Increased trust and confidence-building among the CSOs working in the region will be led by a civil society network in the Indo Global Ngo Forum. These efforts will contribute to a better relationship between the governments. These efforts will contribute to closer ties and elevate trust levels between the governments of the Indo Global Ngo Forum.
3. The societies in which the CSOs operate have deep and impactful relations with them. Any well-informed society is dependent on its grassroots. Civil society organizations play an important role in generating issue-based awareness. In their areas of operation, they have traditionally played an important role in capacity-building programmes. A civil society coalition can play an important role in promoting awareness of the major challenges facing the Indo Global Ngo Forum.
4. The indicative areas of capacity-building and awareness programmes can be sustainable and inclusive development, the prospects and challenges in the digital economy, and post-pandemic recovery. Climate change, economic democracy, consumers' rights, gender equality and media freedom are some of the issues that will be possible for cooperation. Efforts would be made to promote a better understanding of contemporary issues in these societies and highlight the need for trans-national cooperation.
