Networks and Ecosystem Strengthening

CSRC contributes to civil society ecosystem strengthening through consortium work, donor-supported learning structures, online networks, and participation in sector-wide funding windows.

Helping organisations move from isolation to sector-wide learning.

Partner materials around CSIF describe a second phase focused on democratic governance, peace and security, social cohesion, inclusion, and media freedom while strengthening leadership, networking, access to information, and digital activism.

A recent CSIF learning digest also describes the DERSHA Emerging Organizations Online Network as a space that continued to connect more than 500 newly formed and emerging organisations.

In 2025 CSRC also publicised the launch of Civil Society Fund Plus, a four-year EU-supported programme for local and grassroots organisations in Addis Ababa, Central Ethiopia, South Ethiopia, and Tigray.
