What We Do
A Participatory Approach to Justice and Governance
We work directly with civil society, municipalities, and communities — not around them.
Four connected areas of work
SHARP-ER is organised around four connected areas of work.
Capacity Building
Training civil society organisations and local actors on governance, justice, and management, and equipping the SHARP network with peer-to-peer learning.
Institutional Support
Strengthening the systems, procedures, and dialogue channels that connect local institutions with the people they serve.
Community Initiatives
Funding and supporting CSO-led sub-projects, Policy-to-Rights (P2R) projects, and human-security initiatives designed and driven by local actors.
Dialogue and Coordination
Running SUQ (Search, Understand, Question) dialogues and Civil Society Law Sessions that bring civic and government actors to the same table.
What guides us
