3. She will become more aware of reasons for parties not to engage which she might be able to use to sharpen her own approach and strategy

I think Amina can gain several benefits, such as establishing support network/ get some funding/ make her NGO visible

I think that if Amina didn't engage the government from the beginning of her project, they can work against her, and she can face many of struggle. So it is better for every one want to start any activities related to community to engage relevant line ministries from the beginning step by step.

I think Amina can gain a lot such as possessing deeper roots in/with the government, thereby increasing her productivity. Hence her brand gains more traction across various works because several other brands would have benefited from hers.

She would also be challenged to explore more. This will make her engage more creatively and innovatively!we

I think Amina can gain a lot such as possessing deeper roots in/with the government, thereby increasing her productivity. Hence her brand gains more traction across various works because several other brands would have benefited from hers.

Amina will benefit in a number of ways:

1. Trust. beneficiaries and the authorities will gain more trust of her project
2. Brand acceptance. Different individuals and groups will be warmer towards her project and embrace it
3. Feedback. She will be able to receive feedback from the different stakeholders on areas which will enable her to improve or make necessary changes to the benefit of the projejct

She will be able to get information that will make her project easiser

I think by engaging with government, Amina can devise specific modules for special sessions at schools and other education mediums backed by government as Amina knows more of the ground reality. Amina can also gain visibility of her NGO so more sponsors trust and come forward to donate for the causes Aminas NGO supports thereby enabling greater reach and more service to humanity.

  3 Accreditation; people will give her more audience and support knowing that the government is in support of the project.

• Being able to build relationships and trust with the government and in such case could enhance donations and funding of her organisation by the government
• Eradication of all forms of managerial risks that could have been generated due to lack of developing strategies to engage relevant stakeholders
• Being able to reach a larger population in the process of making an impact. With the government contributing their quota, a larger crowd will be reached in due time

Its a good idea to engage local government officials in your programs. Developing synergy with them can boost your program impact. Rather providing isolated services, engaging with government can help in designing more coordinator interventions and avoid duplication. Government after all has experience, social capital and knowledge of culture where we work. Engaging with them can help her in working in the area well and design a service tailored according to needs and culture of the area.

Amina resources can be limited and the buy-in from the government could help her cause to be sustained via government support in the long run.

-> It will be easier to travel to target areas.
-> They will gain more trust from Beneficiaries.

As the government is part of the decision making process (or at least will be involved in the approval of some of the activities), it makes sense for them to be included in the stakeholder management plan and to clarify how/when the government will have to get involved or informed of the activities planned

I think Amina can gain the following:
Reduced barrier and resistance by building trust and relationship with the government

She will gain and expand her brand acceptability, credibility and reputation because of her association with the government

Partnering with the government will help her have more impact that her organization might not be able to achieve alone

I think Amina can gain the following:
Reduced barrier and resistance by building trust and relationship with the government

She will gain and expand her brand acceptability, credibility and reputation because of her association with the government

Partnering with the government will help her have more impact that her organization might not be able to achieve alone

If Amina is able to convince the government, she can get sufficient funding to run her campaign, buy the materials (e.g. contraceptives) and gain more resources (e.g. staff) which are required.
Government can also provide other support. They can promote this NGO through advertisements. They can make some announcements. Like in our country, if some kind of riots are happening in our city, the chief of our government comes on TV and gives a speech. Politicians can appeal to the people and influence their behavior. This kind of endorsement can be very helpful to Amina along with the funding/monetary support.

If Amina is able to successfully engage with the government, she might gain several benefits like:

1. Access to funds and materials
2. Learn about the challenges or pushback faced by the Govt. during a similar quest and come up with steps to evade them
3. Access to important statistics/data collected by the Govt.
4. The public will have more confidence in her NGO if backed by the Govt.

I think Amina can get good rewarding benefits which include:

1. Her NGO would get a government recognition and this will help her and the girls get good medical health services.
2. Partnering with the government will help her advertise about her work and NGO and this help her reach her goal to bring awareness on teen pregnancy.
3. It improves the program efficiency through evidence based program design and proper targeting since the government might already have done mapping and or have a clear picture of the problems and its dispersion

Most and foremost benefit I think will be that the community will accept the program openly.

However, there are several benefits she and program could get such as:

1. Getting recognition from community and other organization.
2. Accelerate the work pace and reach out to more and unreached or hard to reach beneficiaries.
3. The model could be replicated in other districts, states or countries.
4. She will not have to depend on the grants as the government could be providing financial aids to some or greater extent.

I think Amina can gain several benefits by engaging with Govt:

1. She may be able to get Funding/ Grants/ Permissions from Govt. easily/ faster
2. Brand Equity: Recognition/ Accreditation lead ing to brand value enchancement and leading to inflow of sponsors
3. Her model can get accepted by Govt. for replication
4. Her advocacy can result in Govt. promulgating Laws to protect and safeguard teenage girls and reduce pregnancies arising out of their exploitation. Also laws may accord rights for medical treatment and ensuring the well being of teenage mothers and babies born to them.

Amina might gain,

• nationalization of the problem by engaging at the local government and encouraging upward conversations to national government
• the organization's mandate may be supported by the government in it's expansion out of Palawan
• the organizations reach will expand with already government funded health workers and organizations

I think Amina can gain several benefits, such as …

• understand the the people and their expectations

• Better communication and interaction

• Understand future opportunities

She will enhance her brand by bringing other people's line of duty to further her cause and also she will create more impact especially in places where will not be able to visit

I think Amina can gain several benefits such as enhancing her brand hich will raise her publi profile and alo enhancing her reputation. this will help her get ahead of negative reputation through engaging quickly.
Amina will be able to manage risks through mitigating conflict by responding directly to specific stakeholders.
Among the benefits that Amina is to gain, is building relationship andtrust. Understanding her stakeholders and respond to their concerns effectively, which will help her overcome barriers between business, third sector organizations, policy makers and the society.
Having built a relationship, Amina will gain vital feedback through getting an outside perspective on her organization's strengths, weaknesses and reputation in the community.
As one of the benefits, Amina is to stay innovative and competitive, through spotting trends, stay on top of changing market, hear new ideas from different perspectives, which in the longrun will help her create more impact.

Amina can get more benefit by making her NGO get more ideas and effectiveness

Amina can get more benefit by making her NGO get more ideas and effectiveness

Some benefits Amina may gain are: 1. Possible government funding for her projects should the government's objectives and goals shift to a more supportive position. 2. Brand recognition - engaging with the government will mean the government is aware of who she is, what she stands for. They may find other projects, partners or funding opportunities that could be used to help her. 3. Credibility - once the government recognises her and understands she is a valid not for profit health services provider, she will be taken more seriously by the community. 4. Public education - just by engaging with government she will have the opportunity to highlight the many beenfits of her program, and the people she is helping.

Benefits:

• Build and increase brand reputation.
• Increase confidence through developing and enhancing with identified stakeholders.
• Achieve buy-in through relationship development e.g. knowledge centre, sharing common objectives, goals (short and long term aligned with individual stakeholders), gain insight into other areas which may not have been fully explored, look for synergies in thought patterns amongst stakeholders.

my name is vera opara ,a micro biologist and currently working with federal ministry of health Nigeria.
i think Amina will benefit in terms of ownership and sustainability of the intervention through the government involvement

I think Amina can gain several benefits such as :
-Build rapport and strategic cooperation
-Reach a larger scope of beneficiaries and geography
-Enhanced sustainability through integrating the issue into government policies and strategic and operational planning .
-Less risks of conflicts with governmental authorities and representatives.
-Better public perception for her NGO .

Amina's engagement with Government will facilitate grass roots ownership of the program since the local Government leaders whom people interact with fully will be brought on board. This will therefore also increase on beneficiaries trust on Amina's programs and thus participating fully leading to a reduction in the number of teenage pregnancies.

Amina will be benefited through engagement with the local government such as:

• Building up trust: The hostilities that came from the local government happened due to the fact that they could not understand the urgency of providing reproductive health care. By building up continuous engagement, there is some chance the local government will understand the gravity of the issues and finally accept their role in the issue.

• Gain feedback: The government has been in the fields for many years before Amina started her NGO. There might be some reasons why they chose to not provide support to reproductive health care (one that I could think of is the way the Catholic Church put pressure on them since it is in some ways equal in providing support to pre-marital sex). But by documenting the problems in the field, Amina might convince and yield pressure to the government herself.

• Create impact: Funding is essential in any project, and most projects are funded through government expenses. Sooner or later, Amina's NGO will need to diversify its sources of funding. Gaining support from the government will mean that the project could be sustained longer and deliver more impacts.

I think Amina will gain the following benefits by engaging and working with the government:

1. Build trust with govt functionaries including managers and health workers
2. Build influence and support capacity building of government health workers
3. Ensure funding for future - any available govt grants
4. Understand the barriers and facilitators for service delivery from the govt perspective and examine ways to harmonise resources to expand service delivery

One of the many other benefits Amina would enjoy is to easily access a wider network of communities (in which to intervene whenever scaling up the NGO's activities) and existing data as pinpointed by primary health care workers (under the Government employ).

I think Amina can gain an enhanced brand identity, gain trust and support from the community and the government, she can ensure mitigated risk related to the project.

1. Engaging the Government will allow Amina's NGO to be more impactful and widely accepted by all as result of bringing the government on board.
2. She will be able to stay innovative and competitive as she will have access to vital information as a result of engaging the government. Information on new policies that the government will introduce plus additional information that she can utilize for the benefit of her NGO.
   3)She will also be able to gain valuable feedback from government specialist's that have a wide range of experience and expertise. The experts or personnel in government will also give her valuable advice and feedback to better improve her NGO.

I think Amina can get several benefits which include:

1. Create incidence on political decisions
2. Eliminate barriers
3. Build trust across many segments of society
4. Expand her brand

• Be able to streamline the process
  Have the government hire more staff
  train the trainer
  More funding
  If the government is involved in the process they can better understand the need, gaps and value of this work

Engaging with the government will help Amina and her NGO to:
Get government endorsement which ultimately drives acceptance of her work by the community.
Enahance the long term sustainability of the prject

Create more impact: develop services and products tailored to local contexts. Pool resources (knowledge, people, money, and technology) to solve problems and reach objectives that cannot be reached by a lone organization.

Amina can gain the acceptability of her project. More people may be unwilling to participate in her project but aligning with the government can readily pave the way for her.
Also, other stakeholders engagement can be made easy once she has the government as partners.

Some of important benefits for Amina with government:

1. She could reach a broader audience

2. Get some influence on Health policies in the country

3. Get more funding to support her work

1. Government can create an enabling legislative and policy environment
2. Government has power and other resources including staff that can complement the Amina's work
3. Working with government assures continuity once an intervention has been accepted and integrated in government's work as one of the priority areas of work.
4. Working with government can enhance the credibility of Amina's organization and thus provide a firm foundation for bringing more partners on board and attract additional funding.

In addition to the above, one of the benefits that she can gain from engaging with the Government is influencing policies such that policies are made and also interpreted as well as implemented to assist Amina's request for the Filipinos and any breach of these policy implementation can be addressed

I believe Amina can gain benefits such as:

• Acceptability of her project by the beneficiaries and gaining trust by the government.

• Broaden her project given the good relations with government.

• More opportunities like partnerships with funders or other interested partners for the same cause.

I think Amina can gain several benefits, such as;

1. Having access to government stats that could assist her on her own work.
2. Forming government partnerships that could help her organization become more effective.
3. Be current with any changes that may happen with her immediate stakeholders ie: the Department Of Health.
4. Expand her beneficiary base by forming more partnerships in different areas and reach out to more girls.

I think Amina can gain the support of the government and even collaborate with them on all reproductive related projects

I think Amina can also get Government support in terms of access to clinics

Amina would gain.
1: Access: by engaging the govt she would gain access to data and locality of place that naturally she wouldn't have access to
2: she would gain broader knowledge of how the system works which would give her an unseen advantage of how to structure her project goals an objective to ensure success
3: She would gain trust and build long time relationship with the govt for future endeavors

As Educationist, I thinks Amina can get several benefits which include improving on her understanding on how best to help fellow girls hence improving girls enrolments, retention and increase completion of their respective education levels for better citizenship.
Create the understanding and trust needed to encourage government participation and assistance
She will gain and expand her brand acceptability first of all as an individual then secondly across many segment of the society.
Eliminate conflicts and erode negative perception of her NGO.
Create more social impacts among her beneficiaries.

Moreover and additionally to all the previous points, Amina would most probably be able to carryout her NGO's work even with less financial cost. Not only that Government may actually now decide to commit funds to the program, she wouldn't have to spend funds and time trying to clear the 'roadblocks' that would have been set by the government actors. Also, her funding partners will see her as a formidable achiever and so be happy to give her more support

Engaging with the government will help Amina to build trust and enhance acceptability of her NGO
It will equally help Amina to communicate the dangers of teenage pregnancy to their young teens and why something should be done to reduce the surge.
It will help Amina to share some of her innovative ideas to government and demand government inclusion and policy to reduce the scourge.

Some of the benefits Amina may gain from engaging with the government includes building the profile of her NGO so that it is front of mind if opportunities arrive, building relationships with key government stakeholders who may be able to provide advice or a contact when needed, gain an understanding of the government strategy so that she can see how the NGOs goals can fit in, highlight the importance of supporting this area and advocate to government.

She will be able to get access to public and private hospitals
She will have access to both schools and radio stations for publishing and civic educating people about her brand.
People from all sectors will be open enough to come up with new ideas that would help the public to see the importance of her brand at a country level.
Local government workers that are in remote areas where she can not reach can help her in disseminating reproductive health services through out the country.

Amina's organization starts at grassroot, in which they should understand the existing condition of women's reproductive health in areas of Philippines. Certainly, Amina sees an urgent need that the government did not provide at that time. By building relationship and trust with the government Amina could advocate her cause. Government hold authority over policy and regulation regarding health care and education. When the relationship succeed, this advocacy/stakeholder engagement can help mainstream her cause. Resulting in a larger community that could benefit her organization. Relationship with stakeholder that holds authority over regulation like this could also help Amina in navigating the current regulation, in this case, health care. Resulting in legitimacy of her organization, this condition could help Amina in mitigating legal risk.

I think Amina can gain several benefits, such as:
1- Have better understanding of the government concerns.
2- increase awareness about the benefits of reproductive health care.

I think Amina successfully engages with government, she will be able

• Get improved relationship with government and her work will move smoothly

• Amina will create more impact because she will get buy in on the activities of her organisation.

• Amina will be assured of vital and important feedback from the government which will either help in correcting errors or making improvements or even help in the delivery mechanisms

• This engagement will boost and promote Amina's organisation services and consequently enhance the brand.

Amina will be able to gain more benefits by:

1. Obtaining feedback on the organization's strengths and weaknesses that will inform areas that she needs to improve on.
2. Improving her brand by getting ahead of negative reputation by promptly and actively engaging the stakeholders
3. Creating more impact by offering services that are tailored to the local community i.e. Palawan
4. Pooling of more resources (funds, knowledge, funds, technology) that will enable her to solve the reproductive health issue in her community and reach objectives

Engagement with the government might remove negativity regarding her reputation with the wider community as well as provide feedback from an outside perspective. she would have the opportunity to address their concerns much more effectively because she will know what those concerns are. There could be less conflict and they may be able to provide resources that Amina doesn't have access to.

I think she can also engage people who have influence in her community. That can be of a great value in her NGO because those influential people can be her NGOs voice to the government. Also listen to constructive criticism can benefit her NGO a lot.

I think Amina can gain several benefits, such as:

• Financial Aid

• Create more awareness on Girls reproductive health and Teenage Pregnancy

• Facilitate good infrastructure and subsides

Amina can get funds from the government .
She can get manpower to carry out her work more easily .
She can gain trust of Govt.by building strong work ethics to prove her real worth.
She can get medical kits for the teenagers who desperately need proper health care and medical advice.
Her NGO may get recognized in the society and the flow of working process will not have significant interruption.

• Brand enhancement and Impact especially is her NGO is endorsed by the local government.

• Subsidized rates on medical supplies ,taxes and other expenses she might incur during operations

• She will be able to manage any conflicts that might occur between her and the Government.

I think Amina can gain several benefits such as;

1. Manage the risk of the very many abortions that would come with from the teenage girls who are not ready to become mothers as they are not ready to have the children which will also favor the catholic church.
2. Create a positive impact to the locals and develop different services that will favor the local communities.
3. Amina will improve the brand of her NGO through the support rendered to the locals which will add to her profile in the public and more of the community members will adhere to the preventative measures put in place.
4. She will gain honest feedback on the strengths of her organization, weaknesses on which areas to improve to better service delivery to the community and also build her reputation in the area.

Amina will be able to gain and expand making her brand acceptable and accessible.
Reduce or avoid possible conflicts and negative reception towards her organization.
Create the understanding and trust needed to encourage government participation and assistance.

Lessons of trust shows us how important it is to get to the furthest end to try and understand the issue which will then enable you to find ways by which you can be able to resolve them and find a way forward.

With the government's intervention, Amina will gain more credibility and acceptance among her audience and beneficiaries.

She will also enjoy more partnerships and increased stakeholder engagement.

Her territory of impact can now expand as she has the backing of the government.

And lastly, accessibility to funding

I think amines can perform several actions such as:

1. Make a proposal containing awareness in the form of a campaign on social media which is in line with the implementation that will be carried out by the foundation owned by Amina

2. Using polls that can be distributed through social media and questionnaires as a reference for the effectiveness of activities, updated data so that they can be used as real references in organizations in the community

Below are some of my immediate thoughts Amina will be able to have:

• Acceptance by the government: the government will acknowledge Amina's assistance to public health and will extend their cooperation

• By acknowledging her support, the government also rectifies it. This means what Amina does will be considered legitimate.

• More opportunity to work together

Some of the benefits that Amina will get in engagement with the government include:
i. The government will help in creating awareness about reproductive health among the people.
ii. The government will help in effective distribution of contraceptives to the local people.

I think Amina can gain:

1. more funding opportunities
2. Her work can reach at scale
3. Her programme could be entirely taken over by the govt ensuring sustainability
4. She could reach out with her work regionally rather than nationally

• list item less resistant,community will be active ,easy to advocate for her services and there will be increased uptake

I think Amina can gain more Benefits such

1. Gain vital feedback; as they government will be able to share their views for better implementation according to the policies and regulations in the Country
2. She will create more impact as the government will be committed which will lead to operational improvement

Amina can increase her brand reputation and attract a broader market once she can show case her work with the government

I think Amina can gain the following benefits:

1. She will definitely build relationship and trust with the government and can be recognized for opportunities, awards (funding) by the government.
2. Build credibility and capacity: The continuous engagement of the government in the project will make them see and realize the competence Amina and her NGO possesses.
3. Reduce or avoid conflicts: The government's involvement will provide a first hand report of the activities which makes both parties stay abreast of the project implementation cycle and every other activity.
4. Receive vital feedbacks: Those feedbacks and suggestions are geared towards the growth of her NGO and it makes the project more effective and impactful.

Amina can gain several benefits such as -

It will educate the government on the importance of providing reproductive health care services, education, and contraceptives to the girls and women in the local community.
If the message is communicated through the government, it will have a greater impact on people which will improve Amina's brand image and identity.
