Civil society plays a crucial role in fostering democracy, governance, and social change, as evidenced in Liberia.
 
The Centre on African Philanthropy and Social Investment (CAPSI) and WBS invite you to join us for a stimulating discussion on Liberia’s experience in strengthening civil society organisations (CSOs) through professionalisation and institutionalisation efforts. Experts and practitioners will share lessons learned, challenges, and best practices that can inform similar initiatives globally.

Our speakers, Prof Kelly Ann Krawczyk & Dr Janet Jock from Auburn University, Alabama, USA, will cover:

• The evolution of civil society capacity-building in Liberia
• Strategies for sustainability and institutionalisation
• Lessons for policymakers, donors, and practitioners

This event will serve as a platform for knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and strategic discussions to enhance civil society’s role in governance, democracy, and social transformation.
