Our network comprises a wide range of organisations, and the partnership that unites us is a vital foundation for our shared efforts towards a more sustainable society.

Across the world, organisations face significant challenges in making their voices heard and claiming their space in society. This is largely due to the shrinking democratic space, which limits civil society’s ability to operate freely. To navigate this reality and work effectively, organisations must be well-equipped, both organisationally and strategically.

We support this in several ways. Through organisational assessments, we identify both strengths and areas for development, which then form the basis for tailored capacity development plans. We also carry out system audits and invest in strengthening organisational learning, as well as in monitoring and evaluation. Digitalisation plays a key role in increasing accessibility, with our digital learning platform, Fabo, serving as a central resource. We also work proactively to prevent corruption and place strong emphasis on internal governance and control (ISK).

To foster learning and the exchange of experiences, we utilise a variety of tools and approaches, including learning forums, communities of practice, and the Fabo platform.

A vibrant network with a long history

Our network began to grow at the Ecumenical Mission Conference in Edinburgh back in 1912. The world has changed since then but our focus on holistic mission gives us a platform to cooperate with a wide range of churches and organisations in our global civil society.
