Voice of the voiceless.
The Jonglei Civil Society Network (JCSN) is a coalition of community-based organizations working together to promote sustainable development and inclusive growth in Jonglei State. Established in February 2017, the Network believes that true sustainable development means ensuring that the people of Jonglei have equal access to — and actively participate in — economic, social, political, and environmental progress. From the very beginning, JCSN has focused on strengthening the capacity of its members, building the internal skills and structures needed to create a stronger, more unified voice for civil society. This approach has enabled the Network to effectively advocate for the rights and welfare of communities across the state. JCSN’s leadership, including its Executive Members — the Chairperson, Deputy Chairperson, Secretary General, Deputy Secretary General, Finance Secretary, Information Secretary, and Legal Advisor — has been central to advancing the organization’s mission and guiding its strategic direction. In 2017, JCSN implemented a Strategic Partnership Program with the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), supported by OXFAM. Through this partnership, the Network gained its first major opportunity to carry out lobbying and advocacy activities within Jonglei State. The initiative opened up civic space for engagement between civil society and government stakeholders on community safety and development issues.
