STRATEGY 2020-25
Roles
A core strength of our network is the diversity of experience and expertise that members bring.
Six roles of our global network
The wide experience of GNDR members creates an ability to undertake different roles and work across different levels (local to global), and to span the different development frameworks and agendas. Here are six interconnected roles that our network plays.
Catalyst
We spark action and energy across and beyond this movement of civil society organisations to speed up an all-society approach for resilience; we facilitate and support local action by working in solidarity with people most at risk.
Capacity strengthener
We strengthen capacities and capabilities through member-to-member and member-to-partner support.
Convenor
We develop and strengthen relationships and partnerships by connecting local, national and international actors, working across different levels, agendas and frameworks.
Thought leader
We research, gather, generate and share knowledge, including indigenous expertise and innovations.
Amplifier
We mobilise, we harness local voices and we use our collective influence to lobby and campaign for the needs and priorities of people most at risk.
Reporter
We strive to ensure greater accountability and transparency through monitoring, reporting and evaluating local-level progress.
“GNDR brings a much needed bottom-up approach to the multilateral policy dialogue. A network such as GNDR, by the people and for the people, provides valuable evidence that helps to raise the communities’ voices.”
