@Temitope Rebecca Adelola I really enjoyed your interview with @Faisal Elias, you covered a lot of ground in your discussion!
I wondered if there was a network of NGOs in Ghana that work together in some of the advocacy work you do @Faisal Elias ? I'm based in Scotland and your comments made me think about how former colleagues of mine worked with Scottish Environment Link to amplify the voice of the Conservation community.
Yes, we do have networks of NGOs working together to advocate. But they are more of a ad hoc kind of coalition that are formed in response to certain issues in the sector. We do work together but we all have our approaches, aims and visions, so sometimes these things limit the extent of the network because it has to be line with everyone, the need for agreements.
Thank you @Temitope Rebecca Adelola for bringing light to my story.
Useful insights - thank you for sharing @Faisal Elias and for catalysing the sharing of these expert insights @Temitope Rebecca Adelola - wonderful to see the outcome of your fruitful conversation!
