Civil Society Coalition on Sustainable Development (CSCSD)

Based in Nigeria, Civil Society Coalition on Sustainable Development (CSCSD) is a membership coalition of close to 2,000 which envisions a society whose centre-stage is justice, peace, fulfillment of human rights and development in all ramifications. CSCSD, in partnership with other civil society, the poor and the marginalized, the donors, the development partners, and international community, aims at pressuring governments and other stakeholders to account to SDGs and give the lives of people a meaning through upholding justice, human rights and development. The main purpose of this Coalition is to tackle those challenges hindering the attainment of SDGs in Africa and other parts of the globe and campaign on implementation of SDGs with special focus on popular participation, good governance, human rights, justice, development and global security. Reinforcing the assertion that SDG16 underpins the entire 2030 Agenda and that SDG16 is linked with all other SDGs, CSCSD collaborates with other development actors and organizations in engaging on issues around Goal 16 of the SDGs which is to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” CSCSD’s vision is a society whose centre-stage is justice, peace, fulfillment of human rights and development in all ramifications.
