How brilliant. Few months back when this entire idea was in our concept notes, we were hopeful that the govt was much more open to find ways to facilitate civil society sector. Speaker @AsadQaiserPTI suppot is testament of that optimism. Great work DRI Pakistan team.

This feeds into the consistent effort by DRI over the years to come up with a 'consensus-based reform agenda' to create an enabling environment for civil society & reduce the trust deficit with respect to the sector amongst all key stakeholders.

[DRI Pakistan @dripakistan]

What are the operational challenges faced by civil society? What would enabling legislative & policy framework look like?
These are some questions that were tackled today in DRI's national conference on 'Civic Spaces in Pakistan: Rethinking Stakeholder Engagement' in #Islamabad.

[DRI Pakistan @dripakistan]

The panel discussions included themes like the sustainability of the sector, leveraging political support for civil society strengthening & improving the legal framework for civil society in #Pakistan.

We were pleased that the Sindh Charities Commission also attended the event. This committee session represents a great example of civil society-legislature coordination. #DRI will continue to develop coordination mechanisms between civil society & state institutions.
