Nacido en 1973, el Comité Ecuménico de Proyectos (CEP) surgió en un momento embrionario de la conformación y desarrollo, tanto de los movimientos sociales como de las organizaciones no gubernamentales y de la cooperación internacional de solidaridad. Es una instancia de vinculación, apoyo y consulta para agencias externas de cooperación y para organizaciones sociales ecuatorianas. En su asesoramiento el CEP busca priorizar aquellas iniciativas que prometan tener capacidad de modificar una situación dada.

Al conformarse como un espacio ecuménico, se abrió a las distintas corrientes de iglesia y de instituciones que actúan partiendo de valores humanísticos,  comprometidas con los movimientos sociales ecuatorianos.

Actúa con un equipo ejecutor pequeño y ágil, conformado por siete personas (tres técnicos y cuatro administrativo-financieros); cuenta con el aporte de consultores contratados para tareas especializadas. Una asamblea ampliamente representativa  está integrada por mujeres y hombres profesionales de excelencia, conocedores de las diversas realidades del país.

Le CFSI regroupe 20 organisations agissant pour la solidarité internationale. Les membres du CFSI s’unissent pour affronter ensemble et avec leurs partenaires des pays du Sud les enjeux du futur :

- la justice sociale pour réduire la pauvreté et les inégalités croissantes ;

- l’économie au service de l’Homme et non pas l’inverse ;

- le partage équitable et la gestion durable des ressources naturelles de la planète.

Convaincu du rôle moteur des organisations de la société civile, le CFSI appuie des projets menés par des associations partenaires de ses membres dans différents pays. Ce sont ces organisations locales qui trouvent des solutions pour influer sur les politiques et améliorer la situation des plus pauvres. Le CFSI leur propose des partenariats et un soutien pour s’organiser, renforcer leurs compétences, gagner en autonomie et être les acteurs de leur propre développement.

En 2015, le CFSI a soutenu une centaine de projets, principalement en Afrique. Ils visent en priorité le développement de l’agriculture vivrière pour lutter contre la faim, l’insertion économique des jeunes générations par une formation professionnelle adaptée et le renforcement des organisations locales.

Complétant son engagement international, le CFSI se fait l’écho des préoccupations des acteurs de terrain et des organisations partenaires au Sud en menant chaque année, en France et en Europe, la campagne ALIMENTERRE pour sensibiliser l’opinion publique et les responsables politiques aux causes de la faim et aux moyens de la combattre. Le temps fort de la campagne grand public est le festival de films ALIMENTERRE entre le 15 octobre et le 30 novembre chaque année.

What we do

We are reminded on a daily basis that the natural environment in which we live is vitally important for our well-being, whether it is in the form of climate change, global warming, declining fertility or dwindling natural resources.

Sustainable forest management plays a central role in our future, which in turn requires the training and development of forestry professionals.  That's where the CFA comes in. We work in all corners of the Commonwealth and beyond to promote the wise management of trees and forests, and we do this in five main ways.

First, we publish world-class science in our peer-reviewed forestry journal, the International Forestry Review, and the latest global forestry news and views in the CFA Newsletter.

Second, we facilitate networking of professional members and organisations and exchange of knowledge via our quarterly newsletter, website, Facebook page and Twitter feed.

Third, we encourage professional excellence and promote career development using a range of awards, such as the Queen’s Award for Forestry, the Young Forester Award and the Young Scientist Research Award.

Fourth, we carry out a range of specific projects in the field that have been identified by our membership.

And fifth, we promote capacity building by helping to organise training courses, workshops, and conferences.

We are also the home to the secretariat for the Standing Committee on Commonwealth Forests, which is comprised of representatives of all of the forest departments from throughout the Commonwealth.  The committee provides a unified voice on forestry matters to governments and international meetings and organises the Commonwealth Forestry Conference, an event which takes place every four years.

The Commonwealth Legal Information Institute (CommonLII) aims to provide one central Internet location from which it is possible to search - for free - core legal information from all Commonwealth countries. CommonLII will provide a common technical platform through which all Commonwealth countries can cooperatively provide access to their laws. CommonLII will assist the development of a genuinely international common law. It will support the rule of law throughout the Commonwealth, by making each country's legal system more transparent. This transparency will also support international trade and investment.

Through the development of CommonLII and the assistance of the Free Access to Law Movement developing countries in the Commonwealth will obtain assistance to create national sustainable free access to law. The Australasian Legal Information Institute (AustLII) is leading the CommonLII initiative.

We hope that you enjoy using CommonLII and find it to be a useful service. Any words of encouragement or constructive criticism are always welcome of course.

COMAID works in rural communities in Cameroon, the mission is to support communities achieve sustainable development in areas of land governance, natural resource management, community empowerment.

COMAID was founded in January 2007 and registered on 3rd March 2007 by Cameroon Government with registration N0.010/E.29/1111/VOL.8/APPB.

COMAID was founded by a multidisciplinary team of very qualified and experienced development practitioners, who came together on the concept of “social exclusion” as the root cause for poverty. COMAID is committed to “making knowledge work” through inclusive development in rural and urban communities.

Vision: COMAID envisions a future of hard working and responsible community members enjoying self-sufficiency and sustainable livelihoods in a challenging environment.

Community Development Association (CDA) is a highly secular, non-partisan-non-Government Development Organization (NGDO) established in the year 1985-1986 in North Western Part of  Bangladesh CDA gradually has been shifted its strategic position from charity to a Right based Organization now facilitating among the poorest, landless and marginal farmers along with the plain land indigenous people (IP) including the differently able men, women &youth with a view to empower, ensure and secure access to land Rights from its inception. Initially, CDA entered voluntarily in the rural poor communities in the remotest villages in greater Dinajpur district the then and it was committed to organize the rural landless poor with the concept of Integrated Community Development Program(ICDP) and tried to unite them in several small groups at their doorsteps in several villages from 1985-86 to 1988 -89 in association with OXFAM-GB &CAFOD-APHD-Hong kong.

Later, upon  the practical experience gathered from the reality CDA initiated and facilitated the small groups to reorganize them and re-strengthen their capacity to institute a village based Federation of the landless poor  connecting with the village context with a view to ensure access & utilize local resources within the village to promote the sustainable livelihood through implementing of Integrated Rural Development Program (IRDP)for the period from 1989 to 1995-2004 and able to develop a people centered development model which was contributing to bring significant qualitative changes in the lives of rural poor and IPs in the Northern part of Bangladesh. CDA had a significant growing period for institutionalizing itself with an unique image of integrated approach assisted to obtain a  very clear political strategy to innovate the socio-political development framework followed by the International human rights declarations leading towards the formulation of the National pro-poor policy(s) for the poverty reduction, empowerment of the rural poor, women rights, Land rights, Labor rights, Consumer’s rights ,Child rights as well as ecology and development, in relation with the National Constitutional options with the support from OXFAM-GB, NOVIB-The Netherlands, Swiss Development Cooperation(SDC) and Bread for the world-Germany. Consequently CDA itself has been inspired to design and determined its mission statement and formulated the shared vision as well as building up the unity of the landless, disempowered and the marginalized peasant’s e.g. among rural poor men, women, and the youth through building their self-help institution at the village level separately but, CDA has been playing the role of facilitating and assist to strengthen for identifying and addressing their poverty issues independently but collectively from the socio-economic, political ,cultural and ecological context. Considering such an effective mechanism to identify the local needs and demands CDA gathered more experience about the social transformation from such mobilization process by the organized people and insighted to the alignment of this process with the ICESC rights and civil and political rights. Then CDA took the opportunity to include and apply the human rights approach in its development process and start facilitation towards the Peoples Initiative for Rights Assertion(PIRA) by the village based Federation. CDA determined, its role, specified its support activities and separated its identity from the village based institutions and re-positioned having a very strong staunch upon the human rights and  facilitating the united poor people to strengthen their management capacity to deal with institutional process parallel  to the political and Government Administrative tiers at the local level to make the local authorities accountable  at the grass-root level and a solidarity-networking process constituted with the Civil Society Organizations moving forward to the Agrarian reforms to ensure the rights having  access to the public land, water ,forest  along with securing rights to the natural resources for sustainable livelihood.  CDA has been facilitating its technical knowledge generation support among the united rural poor and its solidarity networks at the various human resource mobilization levels on the basis of gathered experience from the practice of the micro-institutions which is already established as a protection mechanism evidently. Also, such an effective mechanism has a role to ensure the People Centered Governance towards building an effective convergence tied-up over the poor, local CSOs and the local Government in taking the Local level decision collectively. So, Institution Building (IB) is a core program of CDA in the name of Peoples Organization is constructed with the village people parallel to the local Government Institutions are attainable an unique people centered pluralistic development efforts as a tool of sustainable intervention strategy inspiring to undertake the supportive role for achieving all sorts of demand driven issues for the rural landless poor especially for defending the ancestral land of ethnic minorities and Indigenous People against the grabbers throughout the plain land including the support to the differently able persons as well. Village Based Institution Building is not only the program of CDA it is also a Process in implementing or mobilizing any People Centered activities or reform/governance issues for social change and development meaning change the lifestyle, attitude and the behavior of the rural disadvantage communities by themselves getting information about their rights as a citizen from local, national and international sources through CDA as a facilitating organization with the support from Bread for the world(Bftw)-Germany and the moral and knowledge support from the different networking organizations e.g. National, Regional and the Global civil society organizations as well.

Community Forestry International 

CFI projects support forest dependent communities as sustainable managers of the world’s forest ecosystems.  CFI empowers forest communities through legal, institutional, technical and financial strategies at the village, national, and global level. With the advent of recent carbon trading markets that provide financial incentives for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD), CFI is involved with helping to support community-based REDD projects to alleviate poverty and increase greater sustainability of forest resources.

Working collaboratively with villagers, technical organizations, local and national governments, scientists, policy makers and donors, CFI creates innovative partnerships to design, field test, and implement innovative community forest management systems, replicate them to other sites and use the learning and experience to inform national and international policies. CFI views community forest stewardship as an important approach to stabilizing the earth’s natural forests, adapting to change in climate, and providing important environmental services.

Quem somos

De 2006 a Abril de 2009, a iniciativa para Terras Comunitárias (iTC) foi um projecto financiado por um grupo de seis doadores europeus, liderados pelo Departamento Internacional para o Desenvolvimento do Reino Unido (DfID), cobrindo as províncias de Gaza, Manica e Cabo Delgado.  Entre 2009 e 2013 a sua área de cobertura expandiu para as províncias de Niassa, Nampula e Zambézia, com o financiamento do Millennium Challenge Corporation dos Estados Unidos. Desde 2013 a iTC cobre todo o país com excepção de Maputo e Inhambane. No período de Maio a Dezembro de 2014, ainda com os mesmos doadores, a iTC está numa fase de transição para se transformar em Fundaçãoiniciativa para Terras Comunitárias (iTC-F).

O principal objectivo da iniciativa é de proteger os direitos das comunidades rurais sobre a terra e promover o uso sustentável de recursos naturais, como contribuição para redução da pobreza e promoção de desenvolvimento económico no país.

A iTC procura elevar a capacidade das organizações comunitárias de base de forma a torná-las actores de desenvolvimento, especialmente a partir do uso e gestão sustentável da terra e outros recursos naturais.

KPMG has managed the Community Land Initiative (iTC) since its establishment in 2006. iTC focuses on providing financial, technical and planning services to rural communities to secure land and natural resources user rights in stimulating local economic development.

Land is the prime source of livelihood and income for Mozambique’s rural communities. Mozambique’s land and other natural resources have come under great pressure from foreign and domestic private investment in recent years as a result of relatively low population density, good land availability and high potential agricultural productivity. This creates challenges for rural communities and government to use private investments as opportunities for partnership, and sustainable local economic development, and to overcome the risks of conflict that arise when investments are not properly planned.

iTC’s objectives are threefold:

To safeguard the livelihoods of communities and social groups in the target provinces of Niassa, Nampula and Zambézia by assisting communities to secure land tenure and natural resource user rights, thereby protecting against encroachment and displacement of their rights;

To operate pro-actively in communities where the potential for conflict between the community and natural resource users/investors is highest, and

To support and assist local communities and social groups in securing their rights to potentially valuable natural resources that can be used to sustain or tap on local economic opportunities.

Community Land Scotland was established in 2010 as a response to the need for a collective voice for community landowners in Scotland. It is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status.

Our current membership includes Scottish community landowners – owning and managing approx. 500,000 acres between them – and aspiring community landowners of varying shapes and sizes throughout Scotland.

We represent these existing and aspiring community landowners to reflect their views in promoting changes to legislation to empower communities, while acting as a point of contact for any communities in Scotland who wish to find out more about community land ownership.

Broadly, we work to represent the Scottish community landowning movement in different arenas of associated activity.

Our key objectives are to:-

• Facilitate the exchange of information, enabling groups to learn from each others’ experience and successes
• Promote the growing importance of the community landowning sector to Scotland
• Reform The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 to simplify and strengthen powers to communities
• Encourage community groups to register an interest in land
• Work with communities to ease the process of communities taking ownership of public land

¿Qué es la CAN?

Somos una comunidad de países que nos unimos voluntariamente con el objetivo de alcanzar un desarrollo integral, más equilibrado y autónomo, mediante la integración andina, suramericana y latinoamericana.

Los países que la integramos - Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú- estamos unidos por el mismo pasado, una variada geografía, una gran diversidad cultural y natural, así como por objetivos y metas comunes. 

Nuestros cuatro países presentan una gran diversidad cultural, étnica y lingüística. Poseemos riquísimas manifestaciones folklóricas y artísticas que nos unen aún más.

¿Cómo funciona la CAN?

La Comunidad Andina está conformada por Órganos e Instituciones que están articuladas en el Sistema Andino de Integración, más conocido como el SAI.

Este Sistema hace que la CAN funcione casi como lo hace un Estado. Es decir, cada una de estas instancias tiene su rol y cumple funciones específicas, por ejemplo: el Consejo Presidencial Andino, conformado por los Presidentes de Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú, está a cargo de la dirección política de la CAN; el Consejo Andino de Ministros de Relaciones Exteriores formula la política exterior de los países andinos en asuntos relacionados con la integración y, de ser necesario, coordinan posiciones conjuntas en foros o negociaciones internacionales; la Comisión, conformada por delegados plenipotenciarios, o con plenos poderes, se encargan de formular, ejecutar y evaluar la política de integración en temas de comercio e inversiones y generan normas que son obligatorio cumplimiento para los 4 países.

La CAN cuenta con una Secretaría General que administra y coordina el proceso de integración y el Tribunal Andino de Justicia es la entidad que controla la legalidad de los actos de todos los Órganos e Instituciones y dirime las controversias existentes entre países, entre ciudadanos o entre países y ciudadanos cuando se incumplen los acuerdos asumidos en el marco de la Comunidad Andina.

El Parlamento Andino, conformado por 20 Parlamentarios elegidos por voto popular -5 por cada País Miembro- , es la instancia que representa al Pueblo; es decir, a los Ciudadanos Andinos en general. Aquí se delibera sobre la integración andina y se proponen acciones normativas que fortalezcan la integración.

Asimismo, son parte del SAI las instancias consultivas de la Sociedad Civil, como el de los Pueblos Indígenas, de los Trabajadores y de los Empresarios. La Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, con varias sedes en la región, es la entidad educativa. Y, los organismos financieros son la Corporación Andina de Fomento y el Fondo Latinoamericano de Reservas.

A Confederação Nacional da Agricultura – CNA, foi criada no “Encontro das Organizações da Lavoura e dos Agricultores do Minho, Douro, Trás-os-Montes, Beiras e Delegações de outras Províncias”, realizado a 26 de Fevereiro de 1978, em Coimbra. 

Tem base programática, história, na “Carta da Lavoura Portuguesa”, aí aprovada. De então para cá, é toda uma vida, feita todos os dias, “Sempre com os Agricultores”, como é o seu lema mais afectivo. 

A sede nacional da Confederação Nacional da Agricultura localiza-se em Coimbra. 

A CNA define-se como a “expressão organizada, predominantemente, dos agricultores e agricultoras das explorações agrícolas familiares”. Entre outros princípios, assume “as preocupações actuais sobre a construção de uma agricultura que responda às exigências de qualidade dos produtos, de defesa do meio ambiente, do mundo rural, da saúde, do trabalho e que promova a melhoria dos rendimentos e da qualidade de vida dos agricultores portugueses”. 

A CNA é fundamentalmente constituída por Associações de Agricultores, embora também enquadre outras Associações voltadas para o âmbito mais abrangente do desenvolvimento rural. 

Durante a sua vida, já “longa” de 38 anos, a CNA e os muitos milhares de Agricultores e Agricultoras que com a CNA se identificam, deram e dão um persistente testemunho de convicção, de trabalho, de resistência, mas também de esperança, lutando sem esmorecer em defesa da Agricultura Familiar e do Mundo Rural Português. 

A CNA representa e promove os interesses sócio-profissionais dos Agricultores. Para isso, também desenvolve a prestação de um vasto leque de serviços técnico-profissionais e participa vários organismos “de consulta e concertação” com destaque para o CES, Conselho Económico e Social. 

A história da CNA é marcada por sete Congressos e cinco Encontros, por dezenas de iniciativas nacionais, centenas de encontros e manifestações (regionais e nacionais), por milhares de reuniões de Agricultores, avanços e recuos, alegrias e tristezas, momentos de esperança e de preocupação, por propostas e reclamações! 

Tal como ontem, hoje, lavrando já o amanhã, a CNA, “Sempre com os Agricultores”, aqui está de pé, unida em acção! 

A Confederação Nacional de Municípios (CNM) é uma organização independente, apartidária e sem fins lucrativos, fundada em 8 de fevereiro de 1980.

O objetivo maior da CNM é consolidar o movimento municipalista, fortalecer a autonomia dos Municípios e transformar nossa entidade em referência mundial na representação municipal, a partir de iniciativas políticas e técnicas que visem à excelência na gestão e à qualidade de vida da população.

La Conferedación de Nacionales Indígenas del Ecuador conocida comunmente como CONAIE es la organización indígena más grande de Ecuador. Formada en 1986, la CONAIE ha llevado a cabo el cambio social en nombre de la población nativa significativa de la región utilizando una amplia gama de tácticas incluyendo la acción directa. La CONAIE es más conocido por su organización de levantamientos populares que a menudo incluyen bloqueo de las arterias comerciales y la toma de control de edificios gubernamentales.
