WORKING YOUR HEART OU T

Selecting grantees from all the proposals Voice receives is not easy. Some proposals have potential, but might not be selected, because the capacity or background of the applicant is not sufficient to write that amazing proposal. And we also know decisions may effect people's lives. How do you deal with these things as a Voice officer and what lessons can be learnt?

#TOGETHERWESPEAK

September 22, marked the launch of a global three-day campaign called Speak. Speak is coordinated by Civicus, the World Alliance for Citizen Participation. The campaign began with a day- of-silence followed by two days of events and actions at both international and national level, all to show solidarity with the shrinking civic space civil society and citizens are experiencing around the world.

The issue of civic space is at the heart of Voice and that is why wholeheartedly participated.
