Network - IDEG

Civi Forum Initiative (CFI)

Overview

The CFI is a broader coalition of civil society actors with membership drawn from advocacy NGOs, policy think-tanks, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, youth groups, labor organizations, gender groups, and individual citizens. As an IDEG initiative, the CFI is also symbolic of the Institute’s convening powers within Ghana’s CSOs sector. It was officially launched by the Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana in September 2008 to mobilize citizens to assist the Electoral Commission in cleaning up the voters register to enhance its credibility. Today, the CFI is a coalition of eighteen CSOs engaged in promoting peaceful and credible elections, good governance, democracy, poverty reduction, and social development.

Membership

The Institute for Democratic Governance serves as the host secretariat of the coalition. The CFI functions under the guidance and direction of a Steering Committee comprising representatives from the National Catholic Secretariat (NCS), West Africa Network for Peace building (WANEP), African Security Dialogue and Research (ASDR), Office of the Chief Imam, Ghana Trades Union Congress (TUC), Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Women in Law and Development in Africa (WiLDAF), The Ark Foundation and, the International Center for Conflict and Human Rights Analysis (ICCHRA). The CFI has membership in all ten regions and districts in the country. Organisations that share in the objectives of the CFI can apply through the host secretariat for admission by the Steering Committee.
