It works with its members on international cooperation, peace building and strengthening human rights. 

Lafede.cat has been cooperating closely with several of the members of the network earlier and represents an organisation that not only supports CIGS with capacity building and funding opportunities, but as well has a strong focus on representing the causes that the CIGS that are part of their network on a more political level. Lafede.cat takes an active stand on themes related to human rights and works closely with the regional authorities of Catalonia and of the city of Barcelona. 

The capacity building working group focuses on training activities that are organised by the members to strengthen the capacities of CIGS.

The funding working group exchanges practices on processes and procedures for funding of CIGS and their development activities in the global South.

The research working group unveils valuable insights in the CIGS communities and their relevance for sustainable development and in mobilising the public to engage in international solidarity.

The coordination group undertakes action in European matters of relevance for CIGS or for the members of the network. This is the management and the organisations of the network as a whole.
