Report on regional workshop on civil society sustainability in West Africa

The West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI), in collaboration with INTRAC and with support from Plan Sweden, Wilde Ganzen, Broederlijk Delen and CBM International organised a one-day regional workshop on the Sustainability of Civil Society in West Africa on November 17, 2015 at the WACSI Conference Hall in Accra, Ghana.

The workshop brought together 37 participants from nine countries across Africa and beyond to discuss the sustainability of civil society and civil society organisations as a critical issue in the light of changing global, social, political and economic dynamics. This aligns with a regional project conceptualised by the institute which seeks to explore possible solutions to civil society sustainability, including through a pilot research commissioned by WACSI with support from STAR Ghana on “The State of Civil Society Organisations’ Sustainability in Ghana”.
