DESCRIPTION

CSO Accreditation refers to a process where a government agency formally recognizes and verifies the legitimacy of a Civil Society Organization (CSO), allowing them to participate in government initiatives, access funding, and represent community interests by demonstrating their capacity, credibility, and alignment with relevant goals and standards; essentially, it’s a means for CSOs to gain official approval to operate and engage with government bodies on specific issues.
