By focusing on influencing changes of policies , laws and people’s attitudes and the structures , such as cultural , economic , political and social with which the people interact with and in many instances that hinder the actualization of the social economic and cultural rights of people to be masters of their own development and contribute to broadening community participation and decision making in issues relating to influence government to be more transparent and accountable.
