We proudly present our third publication, Volume 3, Issue 3 of Development Watch, with the theme “Strengthening the Voice of NGOs”. We are slowly uncovering the year 2021 with what it has in store for us. This issue illustrates both the diversity and our capacity to address pressing issues in a timely way. For us, we realised the importance of continuing to strengthen the work of NGOs during this difficult period and the need to share our work with different stakeholders. The newsletter has a variety of topics to cover the needs/likes of every individual. The lead article summarises the position of Civil Society Organisations on the Universal Periodic Process that is currently ongoing. In addition, an attempt to analyse how successful government interventions during the Covid-19 pandemic have been. Other stories focus on different categories such as the economy, the environment looking at climate change among others. For more, please download the attachment below:
