Gender, development and ICTs (Gender & Development Journal, 26:2, 2018)

July 16, 2018

The digital revolution is transforming how human beings live, work, and relate to each another. Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have vast potential to communicate, gain access to information and services, and catalyse collective action for social justice.

But there is also the risk this revolution will fail to challenge stark inequalities in terms of who benefits and whose voice is heard. And technologies can be used by those who seek to challenge rights as well as realise them. In this issue, Gender & Development focuses on ICTs from the perspective of gender justice, and shares feminist experiences of using digital to advance women’s rights.

People Centred Advocacy for a more Sustainable Food System (IIED Toolkit, 2018)

May 6, 2018

Fostering civic action and agency to ensure that citizens have voice and choice in relation to the food they eat is vital. However, food systems are complex and many actors help shape and influence them at local, national and international levels. By lobbying from the grassroots up, systemic changes to food systems can be made in order to address local and national challenges. This toolkit aims to provide essential guidance and ideas to advocacy professionals and civil society organisations wishing to mobilise and support low-income citizen groups to advocate for improved diets. It is ideal for civil society organisations that work with those most affected and neglected by food policy, low income consumers, producers, traders, processers and vendors – the people who form the backbone of informal food systems, but whose needs are rarely factored in by policy makers.

Contested and Under Pressure: A Snapshot of the Enabling Environment of Civil Society in 22 Countries (CIVICUS 2017)

April 8, 2017

Between 2013 and 2016, civil society in 22 countries carried out an Enabling Environment National Assessment (EENA). The EENA is a civil society-led process that analyses the extent to which national conditions enable the work of civil society.
The EENA analysis explores in particular how laws and regulations relating to civil society are implemented in practice, and how they impact on civil society. The assessments, led by national civil society partners, employed a common methodology that encompassed interviews with key stakeholders, consultations, focus groups and desk research. In every country, six core dimensions were assessed: the ability of civil society groups to form, operate and access resources -all aspects of the freedom of association – plus the freedoms of peaceful assembly
and expression, and relations between civil society and governments.
Overall the EENA assessments reveal a picture of an environment for civil society that is volatile, contested and often under pressure, but also with some optimism in some contexts about the potential for progress.

Bolivia Meet-up: La Paz, 9th July 2015

August 10, 2015

All of the attendants are people very committed to vulnerable people, and who work very hard for them: independently from their positions, or organizations to which they work for (including me :). So we talked about our jobs in favor of the most vulnerable. Somehow, some of them also do C4D but they haven´t realized, but after our explanations they did, so there is a lot of experiences we’ve got. Unfortunately, it’s never enough in our country, since – maybe as in most of the countries – adult people or authorities don´t give enough support to these groups.
Some initiatives applying C4D that were held by us are:
  • Training children, adolescents and youths to be Community communicators.First training them on their human rights, values, principles, and then empowering them to become good leaders.
  • Theater of the opressed, where young people mainly express their reality, their needs through theater.
  • Storytelling, an initiative given to us by Steve Richards who is Children´s Communications specialist.
  • We shrared works that we do, like newsletters, or videos, where the main actors are the vulnerable groups.
  • These and othere experiences, that after this meetings we will share eache other.
The conclusion was to keep on doing what we do, little by little we will get far. Someday, somehow we had to start working on this, and we already did it.
