Civil society organisations should support trade unions in their capacity building and help them establish their connections with the international trade union movements. 2. Civil society must work closely with trade unions to ensure accountability from the grassroots level and teach the younger generations how the unions work. 3. The national NGOs should stop competing with trade unions. If they have funds for projects for the welfare of workers, there is no need for reinventing the wheels. There is a need to engage trade unions to help them move ahead. NGOs should not work in silos. 4. Civil society can support trade unions through research and capacity development. They should help each other rather than competing and being negative about each other. 5. Civil society should engage in establishing a continuous dialogue between government, employers and workers. They should play the role of bridge in the tripartite mechanism. 6. Civil society should work for the restoration of students’ unions because trade unions and students will strengthen democracy. 62
