for support to a social accountability grantee convening in West Africa
The West Africa Civil Society Institute is a nongovernmental organization located in Accra that acts as a resource center for the capacity building of civil society organizations throughout West Africa. Through this grant, the West Africa Civil Society Institute will plan and convene the second in a series of workshops to facilitate peer learning and exchange among civil society organizations that are social accountability practitioners in West Africa. As a result, workshop participants will co-create knowledge products that capture social accountability experiences and results from West Africa, a region that is less well documented in research and learning within the transparency, participation, and accountability field.
