MAKING VOICES HEARD AND COUNT

Making Voices Heard and Count is a collaborative project of the Leave No One Behind partnership, bringing together international and national civil society organisations (CSOs), civic networks and platforms... The partnership's ambition is to contribute towards filling these knowledge gaps on marginalised groups. At the same time, we aim to give voice and agency to marginalised communities, helping to make them an active part of the political discourse, looking for adequate solutions in policy and public services. In this sense, our partnership works strategically to build capacity for community-driven data, generate dialogue with decision makers at national and local levels, and promote the use of civil society data both in national policy making and in the global monitoring and review of the SDGs... ✓ We promote the active use of civil society data in planning of policies and services, providing a critical support to improve the lives of those who are usually ‘off the radar'..
