ECSO Project Community Dialogue and Information Session

The ECSO project team will be hosting two community engagements in the coming week in Erongo region. The project which is co-funded by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) and the European Union (EU) and co-implemented by KAS and Women's Action for Development (WAD) aims to strengthen and provide a platform for engagement between CSOs in Erongo region and their regional and local authorities. On Wednesday 21 May 2024 the project team will be hosting a community dialogue with CSOs and regional and local authorities present with some community members to discuss two topics of importance, "Alcohol and Drug Abuse: How the multiple bars had affected the community" and the second topic, "Resources in Erongo, how can CSOs benefit from resources specifically the mines?" The hope is that this one day engagement will lead to fruitful engagement on the chosen topics. On 22 May 2024 the project team will host an information session between CSOs and regional and local authorities to provide a platform for relationship building for the benefit of the people of the region. Both events aim to foster collaboration between the various parties.
