Building on the success of the 2018 Indonesia Civil Society Forum (ICSF), USAID and MADANI Civil Society Support Initiative will in collaboration with other development partners and Indonesian CSOs host the second Indonesian Civil Society Forum in March 2021 on the theme of “Civil Society, Public Accountability and Anti-Corruption in an era of COVID-19”.
The Indonesia Civil Society Forum is annual civil society forum to discuss and support issues for civil society and CSOs in Indonesia, including at sub national level.
