CIVIL SOCIETY CREATING A PEOPLE'S NETWORK IN INDIA AND AFRICA
Economic Times, October 29, 2015
By Pradeep S
Mehta and Kshitiz sharma
Indian civil
society organisations are active in Sub Saharan Africa
sharing their expertise and experience as models from a
fellow developing country. This engagement is based on a
tripod, firstly the development realities and issues faced
by both the regions are quite similar, secondly, there is
a larger strategic interest of the Indian government and
Indian businesses to engage with Africa for natural
resources and growing markets, and thirdly English
speaking Anglophone countries in Africa enable easy
operations for Indian CSOs. Use of ICT tools and cheaper
international travel has also added to the growing
cooperation among CSOs in the two regions.
India is seen as
a progressive democracy and role model in Africa.MEA`s
partnership with the Indian civil society to deliver
foreign policy programmes through DPA is a refreshing
model which will enhance India`s image. This approach will
also help to simplify the foreign policy for domestic
constituents who have become increasingly interested in it
since Prime Minister Modi`s engagement with the
international community.
A partnership
approach between the governments and civil society in
India and Africa can deliver high social impacts for the
countries in Africa and establish India as a partner of
choice. Synergising efforts with African civil society to
strive for common goals will result in robust and forward
looking partnership between India and Africa, the
continent of hope.
