European Network for CIGS

CIGS and local authorities

Decentralized government appears to be a cornerstone in democratic societies. A cornerstone of societies with much space for CIGS, and civil society in general. As a result members of the network have been developing toolkits and training activities with which they build the capacity of CIGS and their partner to cooperate with for instance municipalities and districts. This years autumn meeting of the capacity building working group on Thursday the 15th of September (11:00 till 12:30) will be the platform to share these capacity building practices and tools Europe wide, and look into further possibilities to elaborate new capacity building. If you would like to participate please register here. 

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.
