On this World NGOs Day, WACSOF celebrates the relentless dedication of civil society organizations and grassroots movements across West Africa and beyond. NGOs play a crucial role in driving sustainable change, advocating for human rights, strengthening governance, and empowering communities.

This year’s theme, “Empowering Grassroots Movements for a Sustainable Future,” resonates deeply with our mission at WACSOF. We recognize that true transformation begins at the grassroots level, where civil society organizations work tirelessly to uplift communities, promote inclusive development, and hold governments accountable.

At WACSOF, we remain committed to fostering collaboration, amplifying voices, and providing the necessary support for grassroots organizations to thrive. Through capacity-building, advocacy, and strategic partnerships, we will continue to ensure that grassroots movements are equipped to lead the charge toward a just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.

We salute all NGOs and grassroots actors for their unwavering dedication. Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient West Africa.
