Wanting to be heard --- I find this quite an interesting point. Also, in in many cases, even when there are similar agendas among different NGOs and/or other actors, there can often be lack of coordination in an effort for some NGOs to somehow have the lead on an issue. In practice, this can weaken the intended outcome, which I personally find ironic, given that with proper coordination and cooperative efforts chances could contrarily strengthen such efforts.
