The international civil society coalition - the Butterfly Effect - will co-organize a series of regional advocacy workshops for NGOs and CSOs active in the water sector between November and December 2021.
These workshops are part of a broader influencing process carried by the coalition and aiming to enable civil society to speak with a strong voice and influence decision-makers for positive, ambitious and concrete changes in favor of better water resources management and sanitation and concrete implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, in particular the SDG6 dedicated to water.
Deepening the messages identified during an online consultation conducted by the Butterfly Effect during summer 21 and bringing out concrete political demands are the main objectives of these workshops.
For its influence work, the Butterfly Effect has identified two main targets:
The results of this workshop will allow the Butterfly Effect to develop a policy paper compiling all the demands and policy priorities expressed by civil society.
If you are an NGO or CSO active in the water sector or interested in water issues, join us and help shape civil society's policy demands!
