The IBON/Reality of Aid (RoA) country outreach program increased its efforts to facilitate country consultations of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), on the broad implementation of the AAA, to reach countries in Asia pacific, Africa and Latin America. The common objective of each of these consultations was to increase CSO involvement and engagement with government agencies, donor organizations and other aid actors in ensuring the effective implementation of the AAA and PD.
The country outreach is calling upon civil society organizations (CSOs) to embark on a global process to build a strong voice of peoples’ demands towards the Fourth High Level Forum (HLF4) in Busan. With respect to this, IBON/RoA’s country outreach team (CORT) is now actively engaging CSOs on BetterAid’s document: ‘CSOs on the Road to Busan: Key Messages and Proposals’, better known as the ‘CSO Key Asks’. The document, authored in cooperation with the Open Forum, aims to unite CSOs demands towards Busan and enable a strong lobbying position on the HLF4 outcome compact. CORT began in April to actively support the endorsement of the ‘CSO Key Asks’ and distribute, discuss and publicize the document at regional and national CSO consultations and workshops.
