 2 Youth Organizations or Individuals;  2 LGBTI organizations or individuals. Considering that the consultation covered issues of women in the ‘informal sector’, rural women, Moro women and LBTs, efforts were made by the Regions to invite these sectors. Women with experiences on displacement and development aggression were also invited. To keep the discussion open and to encourage stakeholders to speak their minds freely, the consultation solely focused on COs, CSOs, RH advocates and the Regional Offices were instructed not to invite government health providers. However, some volunteer health workers and service providers like CSOs working on RH were invited. All in all, a total of 551 participants attended the consultations: Table 2.
