Webinar: The DAC Recommendation on Enabling Civil Society in Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Assistance and Next Steps

On behalf of the DAC Community of Practice (CoP) on Civil Society, I am pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar “The DAC Recommendation on Enabling Civil Society in Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Assistance and Next Steps”, which will take place on Wednesday 15 December 2021, from 15:00 to 16:00 Paris time. Register for the event here.

The DAC Recommendation on Enabling Civil Society in Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Assistance was adopted on 6 July 2021. Through this Recommendation, DAC members recognise that more must be done to enable civil society actors to maximise their contributions to the 2030 Agenda, to leaving no one behind, and to protecting and strengthening democracy. The webinar will bring together development co-operation and humanitarian assistance policy-makers and practitioners, CSOs and other stakeholders, to share knowledge about the Recommendation’s objectives and provisions, as well as on related next steps, including implementation and monitoring of the Recommendation. 

Please find below the preliminary agenda.

You are kindly invited to share this invitation among your staff and with relevant partners and stakeholders in your constituency. For any questions regarding the event’s programme, please contact Jacqueline.WOOD@oecd.org, Valentina.LISI@oecd.org, or Linda.ROSS@oecd.org.

We look forward to welcoming you to the webinar.

Best regards,

Jeroen Kelderhuis
