Webinar sætter fokus på konsekvenser af amerikansk støttestop
En medlemsorganisation i CISU, Ghana Venskab, inviterer til webinar om de globale og lokale konsekvenser af USAIDs såkaldte Stop Work Order, som har medført pludselige afbrydelser af støtte til udviklingsprojekter. Blandt de berørte er tre af Ghana Venskabs partnere, Ghana Developing Communities Association (GDCA), School for Life og Youth Empowerment for Life.
Arrangementet finder sted tirsdag den 24. juni kl. 19-20.30 dansk tid og gennemføres på engelsk. Oplægsholderne repræsenterer både danske og ghanesiske organisationer og vil belyse konsekvenserne for civilsamfundet og mulighederne for alternative løsninger i fraværet af amerikansk støtte.
Webinaret er arrangeret i samarbejde med Globalt Fokus, Norsaac og Ghana Developing Communities Association.

Here's another newsletter from CISU.
As usual, this edition includes something for both those who prefer good news and those for whom 'bad news are good news.'
In this issue, dear reader, you can read about the continued pressure on the grant pools and the consequences of USAIDâs halt in funding.
On a more uplifting note, youâll find CISUâs chairpersonâs perspective on the role of civil society in building relationshipsâand the chance to experience highlights from a very successful Democracy Festival from the comfort of your home.
Happy reading

High Pressure Leads to Temporary Adjustments The Civil Society Fund is once again experiencing unusually high pressure in the latest application round.
A total of 103 applications were submitted, and particularly the interest in both small and large projects within the Civil Society Fund clearly exceeds the allocated budget.
This means that neither the available funds in the pool nor the resources in the grant system are sufficient to handle the total volume of applications within the normal framework.
Therefore, the secretariat is temporarily adjusting both response times and upcoming deadlines.

Civil Society Builds Lifelong Relationships
CISUâs new chairperson, Peter Horne Zartsdahl, believes that civil societyâs unique strength lies in its ability to build long-term relationships and foster grassroots engagement. This needs to be communicated more clearly and loudlyâeven outside the sector.
He discusses this in a podcast on the platform âCISU Mellem Ãrerne.â It's available on most podcast platforms, or in a browser via this link. Here are direct links to different apps: Apple Spotify Deezer Pocket Cast Amazon Based on the podcast, an article summarizing the key message has also been published. You can find it here.
Webinar Highlights Consequences of U.S. Funding Halt

The event takes place on Tuesday, June 24, from 19:00 to 20:30 Danish time and will be held in English. Speakers will represent both Danish and Ghanaian organizations and will discuss the consequences for civil society, as well as explore alternative solutions in the absence of U.S. support.
