The issue was a major topic of webinar on "NGO Stigmanisation versus contribution" organised by Komunitas TIKOLI via Zoom, on Thursday Kamis (30/7). The discussion invited the Editor in-chief of Jurnal Prisma and social sector researcher, Fajar Nur Sahid, the Head of PB HMI Sri Meisista, Dimas R. Perdana from CEA Indonesia, with Sarwitri as moderator.
