- Community leaders and diverse stakeholders routinely participating in decision-making;

- Systemic changes resulting from collaboration;
- Government accepting that this is the normal way of working in this community;
- New sectors and voices joining and aligning their leadership, resources and effort behind the agenda.
What you can do
