Empowering local Civil Society Organizations for Greater Impact!

Lao Civil Society Organizations want to make an impact through social media. Representatives met for two days in February in Vientiane Capital for dynamic and passionate discussions. Participants learned to sharpen their social media strategies with a focus on Canva design, video editing, and crafting impactful stories to highlight their work in empowering communities. ✍️ 

Chansouk Sisouvanh from the Vocational Development for Lao-Blind Association (VDBA) shared: “I gained so many essential skills to promote our activities and improve our social media strategy. Now, we can create engaging content to reach more audiences, especially donors, beneficiaries, and the society. We want to show that. It's very crucial to support persons with disabilities." ❤️ 

Helvetas Laos organized this workshop under the CEGGA II Programme to strengthen local Civil Society Organizations for an inclusive development in Laos. The Programme is jointly funded by Switzerland, Germany, and the EU and implemented by GIZ.
