Shift the power! Local ownership of the global agenda

Civil society organizations working on social change are under pressure worldwide. They are confronted with shrinking civic space to do their work, and face reduced access to foreign funding. Against this background, there is an increasingly louder call to strengthen southern ownership and to change power dynamics within development cooperation. This was reason for Wilde Ganzen and Vice Versa (the Dutch magazine on development cooperation) to publish a special issue on the topic of local resource mobilization as a strategy to shift power. This special edition of the magazine includes interviews with participants and partners of the Change the Game Academy, as well as organizations and experts working in the field of community philanthropy and advocacy.
