Strengthening Regional Integration: LATINDADD’s Strategic Plan 2022-27 LATINDADD is a Latin American network composed of civil society organisations with voice, legitimacy and capacity to advocate with other organisations and social movements for alternatives to global financial policies and to build proposals for economic, social and climate justice, to reduce social inequalities and promote systemic transformations with a feminist and peoples' perspective.

Latindadd's vision for 2027 is to consolidate itself as a reference point for social movements and civil society organisations in the region on Tax Justice, New Financial Architecture, Climate Finance, Transformative Economies and Regional Integration. This means: 
i)	strengthening advocacy capacity of its members and allies through regional and global advocacy
ii)	being a recognised working partner for governments, regional and global organisations and bodies, and
iii)	ensuring that the allies and actors with whom Latindadd works have tools for advocacy, social coordination and communication on tax justice, new financial architecture, transformative economies and regional integration, linking gender justice with economic justice.

As a consequence, the lines of action for this project are:
(i)	Organisation and/or participation in processes of reflection, exchange, mobilisation and training on regional integration;
(ii)	Production of analyses and proposals on regional integration;
(iii)	Production of communication materials related to regional integration disseminated within the framework of Latindadd's communication strategy.
(iv)	Organisation of lobbying processes and political dialogue with governments and agencies and integration mechanisms in social and political articulation with various movements, organisations and groups; and
(v)	Organisation of lobbying and specific social coordination efforts around the proposal for a Social CELAC.
Strengthening the Area of Historical Memory at the UCA's Institute of Human Rights This project is aimed at strengthening the recently created Area of Historical Memory at UCA's Human Rights Institute (IDHUCA). UCA is committed to preserving historical memory in El Salvador, as well as to the application of restorative justice. As a consequence, UCA decided to create this new area of work within the IDHUCA that will coordinate all work related to the promotion of historical memory.
Advocacy, Communications and Capacity Strengthening in Latin America for more equitable societies This project supports CAFOD’s long term partner Comunicaciones Aliadas (COAL) in the implementation of one of its strategic objectives set by the organisation for 2018-2022, which relates to the production of information and analysis on environmental rights, to inform public advocacy work across Latin America. This project is a direct continuation of the previous projects that CAFOD has held with this partner. 

The project will begin with a basic mapping of the main social advocacy processes for environmental rights in the region to determine the main issues that will need to be addressed in the thematic news series that COAL will produce. Subsequently, COAL will coordinate with their news correspondents the production process of the relevant articles (published biweekly) while COAL's news team will produce short notes that will accompany the thematic series. In addition to the thematic series, COAL will also produce infographics, one for each of the themes of the series.

All information will be produced in Spanish and will be disseminated on the institutional website, Comunicaciones Aliadas, as well as on COAL's Facebook.
Coordination of the work of Caritas throughout Latin America and the Caribbean Region SELACC is the Secretariat of the Latin American and Caribbean Caritas organisations.  Its role is to strengthen the regional structure of Caritas and coordinate the work of Caritas throughout Latin American and the Caribbean, enabling a strategic approach to addressing root causes of inequality across the region and promoting respect for human rights, human dignity, and peacebuilding as well as providing a platform for learning and exchange, training in best practice on issues such as stewardship, gender equity and accountability .  SELACC liaises with the Department for Justice and Solidarity of the Latin American Bishops Conference and the two organisations have developed a closer working relationship over the last few years.  This project will continue CAFOD's support to SELACC as it enters a new strategic planning period.  In 2014 it will define its strategic plan for 2015-2019.    CAFOD anticipates maintaining its support to the regional coordination of the Caritas network for the period of the new strategic plan.
Integral Health Care for Children: Capacity Strengthening for Early Childhood Development The ultimate intended impact of this project in the long term is to contribute to the reduction of poverty in El Salvador by promoting an integral approach to child health. Despite the critical role that early childhood development plays in ensuring that children stay in school, achieve relevant qualifications and consequently earn sufficient income to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, the investment in this area in El Salvador is very low. As a consequence, the Clinic designed this project with a focus on ensuring that children in the department of Chalatenango where the Clinic works receive adequate care in the cognitive, socio-emotional, communicational and motor development areas, in addition to the primary health care in which the Clinic already specialises in and delivers. This is to ensure that children’s health is treated integrally, and therefore not only their well-being is secured but also the ability to reach their full potential and ultimately become healthy and successful adults. The Clinic will complement this project with their day-to-day medical care that is and will continue to be provided by the Clinic’s medical team as well as by the team working at the Maternity Waiting Home.
Supporting training of social & pastoral leaders for social justice & ecumenical dialogue in LAC CESEEP is an ecumenical organisation created in 1982 by a group of bishops, pastors, theologians, biblical scholars and social scientists to provide training for community leaders, social movements and people from Christian churches, open to dialogue and cooperation with people of other religious beliefs. It offers courses on ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue, mostly with Latin American and Caribbean character, which are also open to people from other Portuguese-speaking countries. CESEEP also provides organisational support for Bishops' Ecumenical Pastoral Study Days, also supported by CAFOD. Additionally, CESEEP organises other courses, of shorter duration, which are held in partnership with other institutions or churches. CESEEP wants to contribute to social changes, with the aim of building a more just and egalitarian society. 

The training offered by CESEEP as part of their various courses and activities has a strong theoretical angle and aims to train people so that they are able to develop social activities and training in their own places of origin. CESEEP’s training includes critical reading of reality, with tools based on popular education methodology, deepening those themes and subjects that affect people most, especially the poorest ones. It also includes understanding of the reality from the popular reading of the Bible and reflecting on the actions of communities and pastoral and social movements, to make them more efficient in achieving their planned goals. CESEEP's collaboration with ecumenical organisations and bodies, and others that are open to inter-religious dialogue, is aimed at broadening the debate and acting on common issues such as actions and events that damage the environment or human dignity, especially regarding gender, race and religion.

This project is a continuation of support provided to CESEEP and is aimed at contributing towards organisation's new three-year plan 2022-2024.
Amerindia:   Another World Is Possible The aim of this project is to continue to "promote the prophetic and liberating engagement of Christians, in fidelity to Jesus Christ, with the poor of Latin America and the Caribbean; an engagement which contributes to the integration and construction of a just society.”
 
Amerindia is a theological network with a reach across Latin America and the Caribbean. It has its origins in 1978, when a group of theologians came together to advise the Bishops in preparation for the Puebla Conference. The group did the same for the Santo Domingo Conference in 1992 and again for the Rome Synod in 1997. It was after the Synod that Amerindia developed into a wider network of Bishops, theologians, communicators, educators, social scientists, members of religious congregations, and lay people.  

Its Social and Ecclesial Observatories provide invaluable analysis to underpin theological reflection on current affairs in Latin America and the Caribbean and the response of the Church.  Whilst its roots are in the Catholic Church, Amerindia seeks to be ecumenical, drawing on other Christian traditions, as well as faith traditions of indigenous and African-descendant peoples.  

Following the conclusion of the 3-year framework (2010-2012), Amerindia has developed a new 3-year plan (2013-2015), inspired by the Continental Theological Conference, and in the ongoing belief that another world is possible.  It maintains the same overarching aim for this 3-year period.
Influencing Regional Financial Governance in the context of Latin American Integration 2012-2014 To contribute to the forging of a proposal for regional and global economic governance based on respect for human rights, the environment, peace and security, in the context of Latin American integration and the crisis in global financial structures and institutions.
Historical Memory and Development in El Salvador This project seeks to capture and preserve the historical memory of the residents of Chalatenango, El Salvador, of their experience of mobilising community leadership and popular organisation in the context of a civil war.  By sharing back photographs and research conducted in 1984 with the communities, and creating a permanent exhibition, the project hopes to strengthen local historical resources such as the Museum of Historical Memory in Arcatao and make them available to a wider audience across Central America through the Fundación Latitudes.  By working with Universities, the project seeks to engage Salvadorean young people today in the effort to bring the impact of the civil war on community structures of leadership and political participation to a national debate.
 
The proposal is submitted by the Museum of Historical Memory of Arcatao, Chalatenango, the Fundación Latitudes / Centro de Fotografia in San Salvador, Professor Jenny Pearce, Department of Peace Studies, University of Bradford and Mike Goldwater, renowned photographer and filmmaker.  
 
It involves a partnership of organisations and individuals who wish to ensure that recent efforts to open up the issue of historical memory of El Salvador's 12 year civil war recognise the impacts on its victims.  
 
A particular effort will be made to encourage the participation of young people in this project, through inviting university students, especially those with family in Chalatenango, to attend planned workshops and meetings and to help with transcriptions and other tasks.  The proposal will also work with three Salvadorean Universities:  the UCA, the Universidad Nacional and the Universidad Don Bosco.   
 
The legacy of the project will be permanent but its direct implementation will take place through a two week project between 7th and 23rd September 2014 of three workshops with rural communities in Eastern Chalatenango and two lectures and a workshop in San Salvador and exhibitions of photographs covering the civil war in El Salvador by Mike Goldwater.     The proposal has six main goals detailed in the matrix below:
Operation Project for CPL Aromas Additional funds for ICD1016 - EU Co-funded project on Defenders. This project aims to support and protect human right defenders at risk working on land and environmental rights in Latin America, with a focus on Colombia and Guatemala.  In recent years, we have seen a significant increase in the number of human rights defenders killed, threatened, stigmatised and criminalised across Latin America. This project will provide urgent protection and capacity strengthening of human rights defenders at risk working in remote rural areas and will enable their cases to be heard at national and international level through advocacy and communications work. It has a particular focus on the most marginalised and excluded groups, namely indigenous and afro-descendent communities. This project approves additional funds received by Corporate donor CPL Aromas.
