On the international day for the eradication of poverty on the 17th of October 2021, a group of 10 European organisations established the European Network for Citizen Initiatives for Global Solidarity. This network aims to support and develop the movement of citizen initiatives for global solidarity in Europe. A movement of citizen initiatives of which many focus on the eradication of poverty. The network will be a European platform for all those that in one way or another support such citizen initiatives in global solidarity and believe in citizen-driven development.
The founding members of the network can be found in this news message from ENfCIGS member Hub Cymru Africa.
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.
