CIVIL SOCIETY

RECENT PROJECTS Civil society strengthening is vital for the development of fairer, more democratic and peaceful societies and consequently, to the States’ own consolidation. The promotion and support of Civil society activities, especially NGDOs, citizens’ organisation platforms and other non-state institutions, is therefore a cross-cutting intervention concern. Most of our projects have been implemented in Angola, Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau, East Timor and Brazil.

MUNICIPALITIES AND LOCAL AUTHORITIES RECENT PROJECTS Local authorities and, in particular, municipalities are key actors concerning State development and consolidation. Our actions aim to contribute to the public organisations’ institutional strengthening in the countries we intervene, as well as in the citizens’ participation in public life and affairs. The projects we promoted and collaborated in the past years are located in Guinea-Bissau, East Timor, Angola and Cape Verde. In Portugal, we have been working in partnership with a network of municipalities.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

RECENT PROJECTS Our action in global citizenship is developed in order to promote social justice and enhance a broader understanding of global inequalities that affect citizens all over the world, being a major constraint to sustainable development. The activities we promote in this area are mostly implemented, in partnership through innovative and creative projects and initiatives, using pedagogic tools based on universal values and principles such as dignity, liberty, democracy, equality, equity and the respect for human, social and economic rights.

MIGRATION, POST-CONFLICT AND HUMANITARIAN ACTION RECENT PROJECTS Forced migrations, as well as waves of refugees and of internally displaced people continue to represent a serious threat to peace and human dignity, to which multilateral institutions, national authorities and civil society organisations try to face. These phenomena, that frequently occur or result in cases of high institutional fragility, have been addressed by our action, usually in countries suffering of post-conflict situations. Angola, Mozambique and Colombia are some of the countries where we work.

STRATEGIC STUDIES AND DEVELOPMENT RECENT ACTIVITIES The swift and profound global changes that we are going through have led to the creation of a strategic and development studies area, adding to IMVF regular activities of a new think tank analysis dimension focusing on the main constraints that Development and Cooperation have to face. Therefore, several studies and research papers/briefs have been published, alongside with working in partnership with different stakeholders that have led to our participation as a founding member of the Lisbon Conferences in 2013 and of the Lisbon Club in 2016.
