The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC), a regional umbrella organisation for Caribbean Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), is inviting organisations to apply for membership in the CCWG—a dynamic network of NGO and Civil Society Organisation (CSO) leaders dedicated to advancing policy advocacy across the Caribbean. This initiative seeks to influence policy discussions and drive meaningful, lasting changes in the communities these organisations serve.
The CCWG addresses a common criticism of a lack of unity and coherence in civil society positions. The idea of the CCWG was therefore advanced as a mechanism/network of organisations to build consensus, bring a representative voice on development issues, and strengthen networks. This approach can help to influence the development of policy and engage in public policy advocacy.
Since its launch in May 2014, the CCWG has played a pivotal role in regional policymaking, drawing on the diverse expertise and sectoral insights of its constituents. The next cycle is set to convene this year, 2025.
All applications must be submitted by February 28, 2025, by 5:00 PM (UTC/GMT -4).
CPDC will only respond to the successful applicant(s). Only organisations meeting the criteria as outlined in the Terms of Reference should apply.
