SADC in context
This programme history records the original civic technology support initiative. Its purpose was to connect civil society participation with democratic governance and policy processes. For AUCTF, the wider policy context included Agenda 2063, the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance and the African Youth Charter. AGA and SADC calls addressed participation in the governance institutions relevant to their specific programme.
Original programme description
What is this call about?
This call seeks to support civil society in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) to promote the African Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance and to strengthen engagement with SADC. More specifically, it will enable the deployment of civic technology to enable their own and/or citizens’ engagement with AGA members and SADC.
Given the high number of applications received for the call, the evaluation process has been delayed. The evaluators are finalising the shortlist of organisations. Organisations that are selected to go through the next stage of the evaluation process will be contacted directly. Unsuccessful applicants will not be informed individually or directly. If applicants do not hear from evaluators by 30 June, they should take it that their applications were not selected.
