\u201cThis training is good and necessary for me, because the topics touched on issues that are directly under my work in parliament.\u00a0 It has become imperative for parliament to bring legislation more\u00a0 closer to the people and I think this training would help a lot,\u201d Supt Tenge (Rtd) said.<\/p>\n

She applauded ACEPA \u00a0and its funding supporters for the opportunity giving to her and her colleagues and expressed the view that, such programme should involve few Members of Parliament (MPs) so the appreciate the need to engage the public.<\/p>\n

A Senior Programs Officer at ABANTU for Development, Dr Abena Kwatemaa Karikari said she has learnt a lot\u00a0 and it would help her organization to do more advocacy for development.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Keziah Peace Azumah, a Gender Advocate at FIDA Ghana, urged ACEPA to continue to organize such capacity building programs for CSOs to enable them actively voice for the voiceless in society.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She said sharing knowledge and experience at such programs would not only benefit the institutions but rather go down to the citizens when the CSOs are well-equipped.<\/p>\n

Mr Issifu Lampo, a Policy Analyst and Public Accountability Specialist, who took the participants through the various topics, emphasized the importance roles of parliamentary staff and CSOs to enhance citizen\u2019s participation in national issues.<\/p>\n

He highlighted the significance of developing a shared understanding of citizen engagement to strengthen the nation\u2019s democratic system and rule of law.<\/p>\n

Mr. Lampo stressed the importance of CSOs to formulate policies on Safe Space which guard them in their engagement with the citizens for their support and active participation in national issues<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we want to enhance our engagement with citizens then there is a need for us to build strong partnerships, understand the Safe and Space module, where you will be able to know which people to involve, the language and what you want to achieve in the community. The Safe and Space is a sure way to also set the input of citizens to have a unified voice that seeks lasting solution,\u201d Mr Lampo added.<\/p>\n
