Citizens and Diaspora Organizations (CIDO) Newsletter
Citizens and Diaspora Organizations (CIDO) Newsletter
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our very first newsletter. The Citizens and Diaspora Organizations Directorate (CIDO) has the mandate of linking citizens and diaspora organizations to the African Union (AU) and its organs. CIDO implements various initiatives to facilitate the engagement of citizens and diaspora organizations in the AU’s processes and programmes and to make the AU a people-centred union.
As COVID-19 continues to disrupt our traditional engagement platforms, CIDO is looking to digital technologies to ensure that its constituents are updated on the activities of CIDO and the AU. This newsletter is a part of those efforts.
In this Issue, we give you a peek into some of these initiatives starting with the Continental Day of Prayer to counter COVID-19. We also shine a spotlight on five unique interventions by non-state actors to counter COVID-19 and, we share recommendations on how lessons from the Ebola Crisis can help us to harness the African Diaspora in response to COVID-19.
Thank you for making all these initiatives a success. We are looking forward to further collaboration.
