The workshop will convene various players, both at national and regional levels, who have been advocating and implementing transparency and good governance agendas.

There are many players navigating these shrinking spaces of good governance, but the most important ones, who create the biggest impact, are civil society and youth. Civil society holds the role of pushback against repression, playing the watchdog role, and ensuring general checks and balances. Youth of all kinds – leaders, community influencers, activists, social change-makers, and educators – are the powerful vehicle to drive this change.
This regional workshop aims to build capacity among 100 youth leaders across ASEAN and Timor Leste who are currently involved in or will be working to influence public policies to better serve citizens’ needs through greater openness and transparency.
This three-day workshop will be a combination of plenary breakouts, masterclass sessions, thematic open market consultation, and various off-site learning visits related to good governance and civic engagement. Continuing the impact post-workshop, participants will use the skills and techniques learned from the workshop to develop and implement an action plan in their home countries.
