Giving for Change programme - Burkina Faso The aim of Giving for Change – funded by the Dutch government’s ‘Power of Voices’ programme – is to foster local giving as an expression of voice, civic participation, solidarity and dissent. The programme will build evidence around new thinking, approaches and leadership that support community philanthropy development.


Giving for Change will promote community philanthropy as a strategy for achieving community-led development by increasing local ownership, buy-in and claiming of rights, and by challenging the notion that development is something that is “done to” communities by external actors.


Against a global background of shrinking civic space, Giving for Change will encourage civil society organizations, including and especially human rights organizations, to value and adopt local resource mobilization as a form of constituency building, and as a way to strengthen their position as legitimate champions and defenders of diverse causes, with strong roots in the communities they serve.


#ShiftThePower. 
While the programme will maintain an explicit focus on strengthening rights and claiming capacities of communities in relation to public government structures, another dimension of it relates specifically to challenging power dynamics, and establishing more equitable practices within the international development system itself.


Programme activities will include action research, trainings and grants to stimulate local giving, which will be led in each country by national anchor institutions. The role of consortium members will be to help “weave” dialogue, learning and exchange across the programme itself, as well beyond to global platforms and audiences as part of larger advocacy and influencing efforts to transform development and philanthropic practice. The program in Burkina Faso will contribute to:
- Strengthen the legislative framework on freedom of expression 
- Contribute to the integration of marginalized groups to be heard through the CoPs
- Reinforce awareness on the constructive and the destructive cultural values ​​in connection with freedom of expression.
- Strengthen the capacities and credibility of CSOs for the promotion, advocacy and lobbying on individual and collective freedom.

The programme in Brazil will focus on community based initiatives, representing and targeting most marginalized groups; women and girls, black people, LGBTQI+ population, indigenous and traditional populations. They are not particularly targeted by the mainstream social investment ecosystem in Brazil. The focus at national level will be: - Changed mindset of relevant stakeholders on the value of community philanthropy and the #ShiftThePower agenda; - More resources channeled to local communities and to social justice and human rights CSAs (particularly to community-based CSAs, and to specific targets such as black community, women and girls, indigenous, quilombola and traditional populations, and LGBTIQ community). Different donors, including foundations and companies are targeted, including a specific event for the ecumenical movement in Brazil. - Increased public support for and resources channeled to local communities and to social justice and human rights CSAs, because of a broader acknowledgment within Brazilian society of the role of CSO and HROs in relation to democracy; a counter-narrative in the context of de-legimatization of civil society by government and conservative sectors.

We will organize our work in the following strategic areas:1. Build on, engage and collaborate with other sector-based initiatives aimed at addressing long-term systemic reform of the international development system. 2. Grow the visibility, voice and influencing power of southern CSAs and leaders in the #ShiftThePower movement so that they can participate more fully and have greater voice in conversations and processes aimed at reforming aid.3. Promote and foster new ways of working that leverage actors and assets on both emergent (community philanthropy, #ShiftThePower) and mainstream (funders and INGOs) sides of the system.

Support Strengthening Information through Youth Empowerment This project aims to address the issue of misinformation and disinformation in Kosovo by empowering young women and men activists, and youth and women’s organizations with necessary skills and tools to collect data, raise awareness and expose false information, including digital content targeting girls and women. Given the impact of mis/disinformation on long-standing tensions and legacy of conflict, the project will also engage young people as agents of change in building positive peace and contributing to social cohesion and governance and promoting overall information integrity. Through the development and promotion of digital tools/measures that detect and counter false information, we will empower and support youth and womens organizations as influencers in tackling the negative effects of mis/disinformation, including gendered mis/disinformation, hate speech, community divisions, and gender inequality. To achieve this, the project will: a) raise awareness and build knowledge among young people about the impact of mis/disinformation in Kosovo on youth development, social cohesion and gender equality in Kosovo; b) strengthen capacities of young women and men to jointly address these issues through a sustainable network of formal and informal groups, youth and women organizations, and accelerate skills development through training for advancing the capacity of young people to identify false news and counter mis/disinformation and gendered mis/disinformation; and c) seek synergies with institutions and key stakeholders and women-led NGOs to ensure an enabling environment for youth activism, particularly in relation to countering mis/disinformation in Kosovo, and d) work with youth and women’s organizations on power dynamics and gender bias through awareness raising and capacity building initiatives.The project is aligned with Kosovo’s Digital Agenda 2030 and UNDP’s efforts to combat information pollution and has an intersectional approach combining gender equa

Intercommunity Dialogue in Kosovo While the conflict in Kosovo ended twenty-four years ago, ethnically diverse communities are still dealing with its legacy. Efforts towards reconciliation and peacebuilding are ongoing, although progress is slow. However, while women’s participation in reconciliation and peacebuilding negotiations is very low, findings have suggested that after the conflict in Kosovo, women have played an important contribution to peace and security through interethnic peacebuilding, networking and furthering human security . The gap between communities has not reduced, rather, a high degree of uncertainty about a shared future and trust in institutions remains a core challenge to social cohesion and development more broadly. Political, administrative, and social divisions continue to be present along ethnic lines, compounded by the impact of recent political developments, with the Prishtinë/Priština–Belgrade dialogue and the (non)establishment of the Association of Kosovo Serb majority municipalities as two main challenges that cyclically raise tensions. The security situation in Kosovo can be described as a latent conflict with elements of a protracted crisis and unresolved disputes. In this context, addressing the above-mentioned challenges in a holistic manner at both community and institutional levels remains a key element of bridging divides and sustaining peace.
