The West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) with the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) organized a four (4) day Specialised Policy Advocacy Engagement training - for Civil Society actors in Sierra Leone from December 12 - 15, 2011. The workshop was specifically designed to respond to the policy influencing and advocacy gaps identified amidst Civil Society Organisations and to help them hold government accountable.
The objectives of the Training were to: enhance Civil Society Organisations knowledge of public policy networks and processes; enhance Civil Society Organisations ability to write and use evidence-based and targeted policy papers; build insight into the process of planning an effective policy advocacy campaign; increase Civil Society Organisations understanding of the policy environment in West Africa and potential entry points; and provide a platform for Civil Society Actors across the sub-region to form advocacy networks and build alliances.
The Institute has a resource centre that is open to civil society actors in the region. It serves as a library of civil society documents, research reports and edited volumes that are accessible to both individuals and organisations. The Institute has partnered the Foundation Centre to provide online learning resources and a database of grant giving institutions in the United States of America.
