  10. Members/partners who might otherwise lose opportunities in competition with one another shall now join forces to negotiate in a mutual, collective, and organized manner with funders, development partners, international bodies, governments, embassies/foreign missions, businesses, political parties, etc. in a win-win situation for everyone;
