Laboratorio para el Ecosistema Cívico Andino
In Peru, various civic organizations face a context of closing civic space marked by regulatory barriers, greater restrictions linked to the international cooperation environment, funding limitations, and low intersectoral collaboration. This weakens their sustainability and reduces their capacity to design initiatives with impact and projection over time.
We designed and implemented a training, innovation, and accompaniment program for 31 Peruvian civic organizations from more than 10 regions of the country. The program strengthened capacities in hybrid financing, innovation methodologies, and design of fundable and sustainable initiatives, with a focus on building civic business models with social impact. The experience combined virtual modules, in-person sessions in Lima, and follow-up accompaniment to the laboratory to support the maturation of the proposals.
We designed and implemented a training and accompaniment program to strengthen sustainability and innovation capacities, including a collaborative work methodology between civil society organizations, press, and academia.
The program brought together 31 organizations from more than 10 regions of Peru and strengthened their capacities to develop more sustainable, fundable, and articulated initiatives. In addition to training, it left in place an intersectoral collaboration methodology aimed at connecting diverse capacities and responding in a more strategic way to the challenges of the civic space.
