Networking and Coordination

Civil society’s collective strength lies in its unity of purpose and ability to act collaboratively across organizations, sectors, and geographies. Yet in Tigray, CSOs remain fragmented by divergent mandates, limited communication channels, and political polarization. This objective addresses those fault lines by fostering structured, transparent, and inclusive coordination mechanisms among member CSOs. It emphasizes strengthening thematic clusters, digital information-sharing tools, and biannual review forums to facilitate joint planning and collective positioning. It also seeks to build durable alliances with key actors—including victims’ associations, government entities, academia, diaspora networks, and INGOs—to ensure that CSO perspectives influence wider recovery and governance agendas.
