CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness

CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness unites CSOs from around the world on the issue of development effectiveness. To promote development effectiveness in all areas of work, both our own and the work of others, including through active engagement with the GPEDC, we will be guided by a human rights based approach. In order to develop a strong basis for CSO participation in the creation and realization of our vision, mission and goals for development, the CPDE will work with a strong focus to support country, sub-regional and regional, and sectoral civil society, combining this with the coordinated regional and global work on development effectiveness. To achieve this vision, we need to also address exclusion, oppression and removing structures of power that perpetuate injustice. Therefore, we are committed to social justice approaches and mechanisms, to challenge unequal power structures, especially for women (such as by working towards a feminist approach), in order to achieve emancipation of excluded communities and people.
