European Network for CIGS

CIGS in Senegal and Nepal compared

In 2023 a group of researchers led by Sara Kinsbergen from the Radboud University studied the role that CIGS from France, Belgium, Denmark and the Netherlands play in Senegal and Nepal. This research provided new insights in the importance of CIGS and as well about the impact the support they receive in their countries of origin has on the role they can play in the global south. The research helps support organisations and policymakers to better understand how they should evaluate their own role, this in order to maximise the contribution they make through CIGS to global sustainable development. You can find this study and others in our research library.

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.
