WACSI is currently accepting applications from civil society practitioners and organisations that want their staff to acquire robust policy influencing skills in a Specialised Training in Policy Engagement and Advocacy for Civil Society Actors in West Africa. The training will hold from June 25 - 28, 2012 in Accra, Ghana.

The training aims to develop the capacity of civil society actors in West Africa to engage more effectively with a broad range of stakeholders in an attempt to influence the policy-making processes of regional governments.

The training seeks to provide applicants with the tools required to help CSO’s hold governments accountable and also to push for their own agendas by providing knowledge and skills in the production of evidence-based policy papers and in the planning of policy advocacy campaigns.

The training that will take place at the WACSI Training Centre in Accra, Ghana, attracts a minimal contribution fee of $400,00 (Four Hundred US Dollars).
