At RACI, we deeply value collaboration and the exchange of ideas between civil society organizations (CSOs) and international actors. The event “Dialogue between CSOs and International Cooperation Stakeholders in Argentina,” held at the Canadian Embassy, was a clear example of this spirit of cooperation.
We want to extend our gratitude to all the member organizations that actively participated in this gathering, which allowed us to deeply analyze the current situation of the third sector in Argentina, explore new global trends, and gain valuable perspectives from the diplomatic sphere. These kinds of spaces give us the opportunity to reflect on how our organizations are perceived by embassies and international donors, and what we can do to strengthen our impact and sustainability.
The event featured a panel composed of Ricardo Wildman and Meghan McGill from the U.S. Embassy, Gabrielle Phipps from the Australian Embassy, Anjali Sarma from the New Zealand Embassy, and Etienne Lambert from the Canadian Embassy, who shared their insights on the main challenges and opportunities facing the CSO sector in the current global context.
One of the most highlighted points of the dialogue was the focus on funding for CSOs. The panelists emphasized the importance of having solid data to support projects, as well as ensuring the active participation of beneficiaries in the initiatives. They also underscored the relevance of demonstrating a clear track record of impact by organizations and the need to implement robust accountability measures. These aspects not only strengthen relationships with donors but are also key to building the trust needed for long-term partnerships.
Such exchanges are essential, especially in a context where CSOs play a vital role in addressing issues that the state cannot always resolve immediately. Collaboration with international actors and the implementation of transparency and accountability practices in our actions allow us to continue contributing effectively to social well-being and sustainable development in Argentina.
The active participation of each member organization was fundamental in enriching the debate and amplifying a strong collective message. Your commitment and dedication drive our sector, and events like this allow us to keep joining forces to achieve our shared goals.
