The Thematic Commission is a legal component of CEPS as per its statutes. CEPS assists the Commission in key operational activities that further the principles of participative collaboration. The main aim of the Commission is to provide a forum for Non State Actors (NSAs) in Seychelles to share information and experience regarding specific issues and to provide key information and advice to CEPS, partners and stakeholders. It is anticipated that the Commissions will provide a common meeting ground for collective dialogue, collaboration and action by organisations.
