During the workshops and activities, it was apparent how the different groups were able to contribute valuable sector-specific inputs, covering a myriad of sectors from human trafficking, to former street dwellers, to urban youth and farming groups, etc. The exchange of ideas between the participants concerning different social issues paved the way to gaining different perspectives on how to address issues in ways that are more inclusive and strategic. 

As part of post-event activities, there were already concrete steps planned. Some of these were internal to organizations (e.g. strengthening internal systems, conducting men@work activities) while others are more outward-focused (e.g. including in the 2015 plan and budget activities that were directed at men reclaiming their spiritual leadership in families).

The diversity of participants’ experiences deepened the analysis of the different social issues, and they were able to zero in on the commonalities. Thus, a more convergent means of advocacy towards Men and their roles in society was gleaned from the vast technical and managerial capacities of the different organisations. Already, at least two organizations expressed their intention to look at the CCT pilot project (Sikhay sa Paggawa or SIPAG).  Several of the suggested action steps require a certain degree of institutionalization, from low-level (e.g. publishing a newsletter) to high-level (e.g. forming a network).
