Description/notes

"The African Coalition on Green Growth established in 2016, is the officially registered voluntary co-ordinating body of organizations concerned with environmental resilience and climate change within the context of pursuing inclusive and sustianbel socio-political and economic development of the people of Africa.

We envision an NGO sector that will increasingly converge and develop a unified voice in the quest to influence policies, laws, regulations, and funding practices that have a bearing on the CSO operating environment in the country. We aspire to better connect, convene, generate and co-create ideas and knowledge largely based on own knowledge and experiences in relevant fields,and coordinate diverse groups of NGOs operating in Africa through the creation of spaces and platforms for experience sharing, mutual learning, all-stakeholder engagement, linking networks, and alliances as well as strengthening civic voices.
