Central to VANI's advocacy work is providing information on policies and programmes of the Government and donor organisations to its members. VANI gathers information and provides perspectives on issues that affect the voluntary sector, for its members especially those that work at grass-roots level and do not have convenient access to mainstream media and national government offices. Information is disseminated through its bi-monthly newsletter Civil Society Voices. VANI publishes books, monographs, conference proceedings and primers on themes concerning NGOs and civil society in general.
Some of our major publications include:
Foreign Aid & NGOs
Into the Media World: An Introduction to Media Relation for Voluntary Activists
Non-Governmental Organisations : Guidelines for Good Policy and Practice
