Solidarity Action Network

Overview

We encourage joint learning on civil society resilience by bringing international civil society organisations together in a safe space and collecting best practices for the Solidarity Playbook. Through Anticipating Futures for Civil Society Operating Space, we enhance the anticipatory capacities of civil society professionals, moving beyond reactive crisis firefighting toward proactive, informed action. This future-oriented approach is reinforced through the International Civic Forum (ICF), our annual gathering of global civic space leaders to exchange knowledge, forge connections, and collaborate on solutions to the pressing challenges for civic space. We promote rights-driven change by empowering civil society to advance progressive causes through strategic and compelling narratives. We provide collaborative spaces and practical tools to help (I)CSOs strengthen their responses and build alliances that challenge anti-rights actors and drive positive change. In parallel, we support (I)CSOs to navigate digital threats and opportunities by fostering a peer exchange and developing resources to address the evolving risks and opportunities in the digital sphere.
