The Caribbean Network of Service Coalitions

The Caribbean Network of Service Coalitions (CNSC) unifies the region’s service organizations in an effort to raise awareness on services issues, generate support at national and regional levels and share best practices. In December 2010, the regional coalition champions came together in Barbados under a Pro€Invest funded coalition-strengthening project and reaffirmed and deepened their relationsh

ip with each other through the establishment of a formalized grouping, the Caribbean Network of Service Coalitions (CNSC), a network of the existing, independent coalitions. The CNSC will result in closer collaboration among the region’s service organizations in an effort to raise awareness on services issues, including joint lobbying and advocacy efforts, generate support at national and regional levels for the coalition movement and to share best practices. The CNSC has secured support from the German International Development Agency towards these efforts in a project that seeks to:
• Raise of awareness on services issues in the region through assistance with the development and maintenance of a CNSC website, newsletter and magazine;
• Offer technical support to fledgling coalitions with respect to best practices;
• Support the joint efforts of the CNSC.
