A key principle of the Spotlight Initiative is the meaningful engagement of women's rights groups and relevant civil society organizations. In line with this, a Civil Society Regional Reference Group (CS-RRG) will be established as a mechanism to bring in civil society participation and expertise during the inception and implementation phase of the Spotlight Regional Programme.
