Transparency, Accountability, & Participation (TAP) Network: an intl. coalition of civil society orgs. working to achieve #SDG16 & forward the UN's #2030Agenda
Civil society groups warn that #SDG16 is off track as conflict, authoritarianism, shrinking civic space & attacks on human rights undermine peace, justice & inclusive institutions. Their declaration urges UN reforms including a parliamentary body @TAPNetwork2030 https://t.co/lMO3wsGNnt
Today at the #SDG16Conference, I had the opportunity to contribute to discussions on the 2026 Civil Society Declaration on SDG16+.
Drawing on the experience of #Afghanistan, I highlighted how conflict, shrinking civic space, restrictions on education, and declining support for local organizations continue to affect millions of people.
The Declaration is a timely reminder that achieving peace, justice, and strong institutions requires protecting rights, supporting civil society, and ensuring meaningful participation for all.
To mark the first annual #UNPeacebuildingWeek, join AfP, @TAPNetwork2030, @Saferworld, @BahaiBIC on 6/23 at 10:30am ET for a conversation on intertwined solutions for civic space and peacebuilding.

🚨🇺🇳CIVICUS is deeply concerned about the 2026 UN budget cuts.
These cuts disproportionately affect #humanrights, severely limiting @UN's ability to:
1⃣Deliver on human rights commitments and mandates
2⃣Investigate violations
3⃣Respond to emerging crises

🤔 How can we make #PeopleCenteredJustice a funded priority?

Over the past 3 days we've led & participated in a number of sessions at #ICSW2025 on understanding and responding to the existential threats facing #civilsociety & social mvmts. What a thought-provoking few days! Learning, listening & devising collaborative solutions.
We are kicking off #ICSW2025 with an empassioned call to action from @CIVICUSalliance S-G Mandeep Tiwana. While over 70% of the world's population lives in countries with restricted civic space, #civilsociety around the world continue to fight for #humanrights & #justice.
