Advocacy Trainer for SAWT Staff

About SAWT Project:

Sawt will create a Virtuous Cycle of Civic Engagement. We will improve community knowledge of their rights and relevant issues through greater access to fact-based and trusted content from online media, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and other civic spaces. We will increase opportunities for citizens to participate in regular constructive civic dialogue through building CSO and citizen advocacy capacity and through support to intersectional CSO coalitions, contributing to increased trust and government accountability.
