On the 6th of April the funding working group will exchange experiences on income generating projects. Income generating projects are such projects in which the main purpose is to create a income/profit for a group of local beneficiaries.
In case of income generating projects we as funders are invited to participate in the investments related to income generation. We pay for machines, first production, skill development and others. As funders we are investors that mostly do not expect a return on investment.
But to which extend do these projects really help the intended beneficiaries? What is the impact of our investments on the local investment market? What do such projects do with the local labor market? What is done with the profits of these investments? How sustainable are the results of these projects? Which income generating projects work and which don’t?
Together we will try to unravel these questions during this session of the funding working group. Please register for the meeting 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.
