European Network for CIGS

Due diligence and fraud prevention

The funding working group discussed experience and practices that the members of the network that fund projects have with due diligence and fraud prevention. Everybody mentioned that fraud actually occurs very seldom in our projects. Due to the cooperation between a local partner and a CIGS there are many checks and balances.

There are though good reasons to look into cooperation in this field by sharing project locations in a handy data set and sharing data on verification visits and information on field parties when possible. A report with more details can be found 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.
