Civil Society Advocacy on Constitutional Reform
 
      Since the debates on Charter change started, CODE-NGO and the Coalition for a Citizens. Constitution (C4CC) have been advocating for a meaningful constitutional reform process that would ensure broad-based participation of our citizens towards a genuine People’s Constitution. The Civil Society Advocacy on Constitutional Reform Project promotes to increase the awareness of the general public and widen civil society’s participation in the process of Charter change. The project generated awareness and disseminated substantive information on Federalism, Parliamentary form of government and Constitutional Convention by through national conferences of civil society leaders. It facilitated discussions and consensus-building among civil society groups on Charter change through provincial conferences across the country. It strengthened capacities of civil society groups to influence public opinion and policy making on constitutional reform through regional media advocacy training and campaigns. In consultation with the basic sectors, it formulated policy papers towards drafting a pro-poor People’s Constitution.
