Civil Society Organisations operating in Rufunsa to mitigate the effects of Climate Change convened at Rufunsa Town Council in response to the invitation of the Dostrict Commissioner.
ZCSD was one of the CSOs that attended the one day meeting which was also attended by Traditional Leaders who also spoke at the meeting to provide words of encouragements. The DC was positive that in going foward, the CSOs will adopt a more coordinated approach as they work in Rufunsa in advancing their various initiatives. The meeting was supported by Zambia Governance Foundation (ZGF) and some of the organisations in attendance included NGOCC, Zambia Civic Education, Keeper Zambia, and a number of other Rufunda based CSOs and CBOs.
The meeting identified the key not being done well which included
1. Competition among CSO
2. Working in Isolation
3. Not sharing platforms for working and networking.
4. Providing too much handout
5. Applying contradicting Approaches
6. Focusing more on resources rather than change
