Regions & Programme work

CIDSE MOs support partner organisations in Africa, Asia , Latin America and the Middle-East (Palestine & Israel). We have worked with our partners in these countries for more than 40 years and have built strong relations with local churches and other non-governmental organisations working there. Consequently our members are recognised and respected in national and international arenas. Members collaborate in the funding of joint programmes in order to facilitate co-ordination and implementation of joint strategies and to secure additional funds through co-financing.

Southern partner organisations are faced with a quickly changing environment and with varying challenges at the local and national level in the more than 100 countries where MOs work. These partners have developed initiatives to respond to those challenges, and are engaged in processes to increase self-determination of the poorest. MOs have supported and continue to promote capacity building of those partners and their beneficiaries. Through this experience MOs have accumulated a wealth of expertise and learning, which in turn has built the potential to learn from each other.
