Identifying the topics and verifying which experts would be a good match for the project was one of the most laborious stages. This is because, as Mariana pointed out, creating a collective work and having to define the articles, even knowing that there are other topics that could be very relevant to the work, is a challenge.
The organizer points out that since it is not a call for proposals on a specific subject, the work had the potential to become a very eclectic project, and even after the organization's prior evaluation, these themes would still need to undergo a methodology analysis by the scientific committee. This process ended up culminating in the knowledge of several initiatives in the area of lobbying and advocacy , in addition to becoming a learning experience, according to Julia.
“I had never organized a book. So we started with initiatives honduras mobile database that we already knew about, but then the world opened up and we got to know several initiatives that were not on our radar before,” Julia recalls.
The Advocacy Hub is one of the initiatives that Julia mentions during the conversation, and it is a space dedicated to training third sector entities in the area of advocacy. In addition to wanting to learn about and publicize other projects, the organizers said that they would have liked to have given more emphasis to Big Data issues and the entire context of digitalization, and how this hinders or democratizes access to instruments and tools for relations with the government.

Raphael recalls that around the 1990s, it was common to observe the growth in the emergence of third sector organizations. Then, in the 2000s, there was a cooling of this movement, and now it seems that it is possible to see again this desire to address issues outside the State environment and also the private sector.
Regarding the growth of the third sector, Julia believes that these spaces have grown. She comments that the book also fulfills the role of reviving, in a bibliographic review, the discussion about what this concept means. In this sense, whether as an association or a class entity, we must ask ourselves whether a non-governmental organization (NGO) takes a position in order to legitimize a debate.
Parliamentary fronts, such as the environmentalist front, for example, have a very strong focus on working with NGOs, says Julia. She also mentions that at the beginning of this year, we saw a number of councils that were reactivated and also the creation of special advisory services, for social participation and diversity within all federal government agencies.
