    Not inclusive, community-driven development work isn't practiced
    The good thingsSubstantial pay, good opportunity to network and collaborate with partner beneficiaries. Manageable work load and deliverables
    The challengesWork is too focused on outputs rather than real impacts to beneficiaries. The organization is more focused on increasing KPIs or numbers for future grants and partnerships. Impacts are rarely assessed and evaluated with important stakeholders. The management should be aware and directed to focusing on long-term impact and building strong relations with key beneficiaries
