| | + | |
| | + | ACCESS Learning Group and the Secretariat conducted an online survey for its members spread across 18 countries globally. The survey aimed at assessing the coping mechanisms for CSOs during COVID-19 and how best CSOs could continue playing their advocacy role. A total of 24 organizations working globally responded to the survey. |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | The survey showed that CSOs currently have two imperatives: protecting their personnel in contact with the population and guaranteeing work continuity. Another glaring challenge was the lack of finance and the existing inequalities in funding - a lot of funding is geared towards the ‘big’ organisations while leaving grassroots CSOs and SMEs out of the picture. |
| | + | |
| | + | |
| | + | This webinar will share the results of the survey with a focus on available funding opportunities; how to address the existing inequalities; and what strategies CSOs at the community level should employ to access these funds.</p> |
