This month's Newsletter focuses on "Civic voice" through the aims of the Commonwealth Foundation as progressively reported through their Strategy 2017-21.  Within this, the issues of gender equality and inclusion with actions around strengthening civic voice and enhancing participatory governance are addressed.  Climate change is also a key concern, especially for Caribbean and Pacific nations.

Cultural aspects are highlighted with the launch of "SO MANY ISLANDS: AN ANTHOLOGY FROM THE CARIBBEAN, MEDITERRANEAN, INDIAN AND PACIFIC OCEANS".  And a new online platform, Adda, has been created to document stories by Commonwealth writers.  Keep abreast of these advances at this link.
