The East African Civil Society Organizations’ Forum is an autonomous umbrella body of all Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and CSOs in East Africa, with the primary objective of building a critical mass of knowledgeable and empowered civil society in the region, in order to foster their confidence and capacity in articulating grassroots needs and interests to the EAC, and its various organs, institutions and agencies.
To this end, EACSOF galvanizes the initiatives of CSOs and partners with the EAC for the improvement of humanity, social security, regional integration, as well as economic and social development in East Africa.EACSOF seeks to facilitate the building of associational networks, promotion of solidarity, trust, and reciprocity among CSOs both nationally and at regional level aiming to empower civil society to exploit the public space in a liberal democracy, to which EACSOF aspires, where the sovereign is the people.
