Open Forum for CSO Development Effectiveness

Call for Participation in the Global Process on Open Forum for CSO Development Effectiveness

As development actors, we CSOs are concerned not just about aid effectiveness but more so on development effectiveness – the impact of our actions on improving the lives of the poor and marginalised; and the promotion of sustainable positive change that addresses, within a democratic framework, the root causes as well as the symptoms of poverty, inequality and marginalisation.

It is in this light that the Open Forum for CSO Development Effectiveness was conceptualized as an international CSO-driven process towards coming up with a global development effectiveness framework and enabling environments for CSOs through consultations with CSOs and other development actors.

In an effort to make the process as inclusive and representative of the diverse CSOs as possible, we are inviting all civil society organizations (i.e. VNGO, INGO, Umbrella Organization, Research Organizations, Community Development organizations, Trade Union, etc.) to participate in the Vietnam national consultation on CSO Development Effectiveness to be held at National Assembly Guest House, 02 Hoang Cau street, Dong Da district, Hanoi: June 23-24 will primarily be a CSO activity for in-depth discussions and consensus-building on a CSO development effectiveness framework; a multi-stakeholder dialogue on June 25 at National Assembly Guest House, 02 Hoang Cau street, Dong Da district, Hanoi, will also be held to build understanding and support among official donors, governments and possibly other development stakeholders for an enabling environment for CSO actions. This is also aimed at resulting in a multi-stakeholder agreement on a set of minimum enabling conditions critical to the effectiveness of CSOs as development actors.

Limited slots for subsidies on participation are available. Interested organizations must submit duly-accomplished application form and other requirements for evaluation by the organizers on or before June 7^th at Research Center for Management and Sustainable Development (MSD), 101 A2, lane 72, Nguyen Chi Thanh, Dong Da district, Ha Noi or by email: msd.vietnam@gmail.com.
