Where We Work

We respond to demand worldwide, adjusting our role based on the relative strength of civil society:
  • Where civil society is strong, we collaborate with like-minded organisations to stimulate a global exchange on civil society policy and practice.
  • Where civil society capacity building exists but is weak, we invest in strengthening the sector by bringing the best of international practice and by building the skills of local providers.
  • Where civil society and its support sector are new or emerging, we build the capacity of that sector and deliver direct support.

Global

We use our rich portfolio of work and network of experts across all continents to shape global debates and policy on civil society strengthening.
