FFCSA's DBSA CSO Forum Proposal
In November 2022, the Fair Finance Coalition of Southern Africa was invited to meet with the Board of the Development Bank of Southern Africa for a regular CSO Forum. This was the FFCSA DBSA Forum Proposal to raise and engage on mutual interests.
The proposal was submitted in April 2023, and while it was not implemented in its entirety, the FFCSA continues to engage the DBSA.
