Welcome to

West Africa Civil Society Institute

 

WACSI was established by the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) to enhance the capacity of civil society in the region. The Institute was set up  to strengthen the institutional and operational gaps identified in civil society.

WACSI serves as a resource centre engaged in training, research, documentation, and policy dialogue for Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in West Africa. The advocacy work of the Institute is conducted through its policy dialogue process, which brings together different stakeholders to deliberate on topical issues that affect West African States. Position papers are published by the Institute and disseminated to policy makers.
