The new participatory governance initiative aims to: (1) generate and shareknowledge and learning about the theory and practice of participatory governance by creating a space for southern practitioners to reflect on critical issues and engage with cutting edge scholars and researchers; (2) help southern practitioners (CSOs and government actors) acquire the practical skills and tools they need to promote effective citizen participation in governance processes; (3) build bridgesbetween civil society and government actors and an active “community of practice” among participatory governance practitioners;  and  (4) promote innovation in participatory governance practices by providing direct operational support to strategically selected  joint civil society-government initiatives.  For more information about the Strengthening Participatory Governance Initiative please visit www.civicus.org or contact us at governance@civicus.org .
