Resume

The purpose of this project is therefore to provide an alternative process for restoring the operational space of the affected CSOs, as well as others that could be in danger over the months and years to come. It is facilitated by two related objectives as follows. (1). To develop and routinize a platform/structure for accessible and constructive Government – Civil Society dialogue, that through hosting various activities of structured dialogue will bring the two estranged parties closer together, contribute to reducing animosity between the two bodies, pave way for amicable conflict resolution, and preservation of CSO operation space. And (2). To strengthen the capacity of especially youth-led CSOs to comply with the key provisions of the NGO Policy (2012), the NGO Act (2016), and other CSOs regulatory provisions, as well as being dynamic to react to any future changes and unpredictable trends of shrinking civic space for CSOs resilience.
