Civil Society - Countries and Programmes

Countries and Programmes

The Civil Society Programme has contracted with local civil society organisations - in some cases with AKDN agencies to produce the information relevant to achieve the outcomes of the programme. These organisations have each worked in their own way under CSP supervision. What is available on this website is finished documents written by local CSOs that we are making available to help those interested understand more about the different components in each country.

What is displayed here are documents of public interest which reflect what we are doing, and have done in some of the outcome areas. It is also available in local languages as well as English. For those who want to pursue any specific work, there is more information available (work in progress, work not intended for public consumption), please send an e-mail.

In general documents that are displayed here lead to the formation of working groups between CSOs, Academia, Government (and sometimes business) which try to advance improvements in relations between CSOs and the larger stakeholders (public, government, media, academia), and solidify these advances through changes in policy and practice.
