Before I end this presentation, we at ECOLINK wish to share a very important lesson we learned from our project:
Transparency in the public office including the Local Government is not something given freely by those in power even, if
procurement and other similar laws exist;
It is something that a vigilant and active citizenry should continuously fight for.
