PCS exists to connect development partners and decision makers with the local voiceless (unknown, muted, silent, ignored,unheard, marginalised) communities. We actively engage, intelligently listen and amplify people’s voices to authorities ensuring that their views, opinions and priorities are at the heart of Africa's transformation.
Our Mission:
To create inclusive engagement spaces that promote citizen engagement and place people's voices at the forefront of development initiatives.
-- By doing so, we aim to generate reliable citizen-generated data that enhances the effectiveness and impact of development interventions.
Our Vision :
We envision a future where social change in Africa is transformed by prioritizing the quality and quantity of development intervention outcomes and impact.
-- By centering people's voices in the design and decision-making process of development initiatives, we strive to achieve this goal.
Engage
We create inclusive and plural but safe public spaces for public interactive engagement between citizens and authorities.
Listen
We are curious about listening to and understanding people’s voices from the continent of Africa. And through rigorous social science research methodologies we intelligently listen to the people, collect their views, opinions, beliefs and apply mixed method analysis to develop robust, timely and actionable citizen generated evidence.
Amplify
On a daily basis we Pose-Pause-Pounce-Bounce the question; how do we better amplify others and make their voices especially for the voiceless (unknown, muted, silent, ignored,unheard, marginalised) communities be heard? How do we effectively sustain the efforts of handing over the mic? From our programming work we influence and support development partners and decision-makers to act on citizen’s generated data and close the accountability loop./p>
