SASA Programme

Our 5-year strategic plan (2021-2025) at ForumCiv focuses on four strategic pillars: Human rights and Democracy, Gender Equality, Environment & Climate Change, and Migration & Development. In line with this, we have received a two (2) year grant from Hewlett Foundation aimed at Strengthening Agency for Sustainable Accountability (SASA). The SASA Programme seek to promote inclusive governance and human rights; strengthen agency towards gender equality; enhance civil society solidarity, networks, and movement building; and civil society´s organizational and programmatic capacity development in Kenya and Tanzania.  

Through the SASA Programme, ForumCiv aims at empowering communities to build accountable and responsive governance structures and processes. The Programme envisages outcomes across four result areas during the grant period that contribute to the goals of empowering communities to build accountable and responsive governance structures and processes in Kenya and Tanzania.
