Welcome to ENCISS

ENCISS works towards increasing the capacity of representative civil society to participate in, influence, contribute to and monitor the Poverty Reduction Strategy and local government policy, planning and implementation; and strengthen the capacity of the Government of Sierra Leone to engage in constructive dialogue with Civil Society within these policy frameworks. The focus of ENCISS is to improve the interface between state and non-state actors.   Conceived by the UK Department for International Development (DfID) and managed by CARE Sierra Leone, the ENCISS programme is a prominent entity that has shown itself to have a valued and vital role in promoting good governance in Sierra Leone. It came into existence in 2005 with the view to creating a link between government and civil society for the reduction of poverty and the fulfilment of people’s rights in Sierra Leone. More >>
