Over the past year through the Competitiveness and Innovation programme, AICC began working on its Southern Africa Corporate Citizenship Programme – a two-year project funded by NOVIB (Oxfam Netherlands). The programme was conceived around the challenges and opportunities that exist regarding business community interactions and the role businesses can play in development, inter-alia the role civil society could play in facilitating or aiding this outcome. The programme is being undertaken in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia and Zimbabwe.

The AICC’s objectives in this programme are to:
  1. Strengthen institutional capacity of organs of civil society to engage corporations on CSR issues in Southern Africa, with an emphasis on individual countries, and
  2. Facilitate corporate community dialogue.
Through local partners and researchers, the AICC has started a journey of capacity building and working in partnership with other NGOs (including BOCONGO, CORDE, LECONGO, Lesotho Community Development Foundation, TECS, FDC, CTA, NANGOF, CED, MWENGO, Consumer Council of Zimbabwe (CCZ) and Rossing Foundation) on the issue of corporate citizenship.
