πŸ“£ Civil Society Unites to Face Challenges Amidst Loss of Development Aid

In response to the growing challenges caused by the withdrawal of development aid from donors including USAID, a special national-level civil society representatives’ forum was held at the Sarvodaya Headquarters. The forum emphasized the urgent need for collective action and stronger coordination among civil society organizations.

Key resolutions were made during the event, including the establishment of a National Civil Society Secretariat to strengthen advocacy and representation efforts.

The Arunella Foundation was proudly represented at this important gathering by its Executive Director, Mr. Thakshila de Silva.

🀝 Together, we stand stronger!
