Exploring Practical Approaches to Enhancing CSOs Policy Analysis, Engagement and Advocacy Skills in Southern Africa
Midrand, South Africa, 3 April 2007
As part of its approaches within the CSPP, ODI aims to create working relationships with CSOs in different regions directly as well as partners with think tanks and organisations that support these CSOs through capacity building, grants etc. The strategic objectives of the Southern Africa Trust, to support organisations and processes to deepen and widen engagement in policy dialogue with a regional impact on poverty, fit strongly with those of the CSPP.
This workshop, facilitated by the ODI's Naved Chowdhury and Fletcher Tembo, provided a useful platform for sharing experiences about the CSO policy context in Southern Africa, and how they have used different approaches to policy influence. It also contributed to a deeper understanding of how to bridge the gap between policy and research.
By the end of the two-day workshop participants were expected to have:
- A clear understanding of the RAPID framework and how it can enhance SAT and its Southern African partners objectives
- A general understanding of the practical tools that could be used to enhance policy influencing in different contexts and around different policy themes.
