TAG workshop participants with discussion leader, Sancho Goncalves of the Commission for Reception, Truth, and Reconciliation (CAVR).

“I learned many things from the TAG workshop, and I hope there will be another workshop like this in the future. It provided the means for me to learn about NGO’s and their working relationship with the government. Democracy Council was so neutral and independent in facilitating the workshops, and it was definitely a good starting point.”
