Más información sobre mí

Since 2007 I have been working closely with Jeroen Mimpen and his colleagues at Hivos to set up the next phase of the Civil Society Building Knowledge Programme. My role is to coordinate the contribution of the research team at the Institute of Social Studies - including the integration of academic research and the practical experiences of partner organisations.

Soy Hivos porque

As Research Coordinator I act as a link between Hivos and the Institute of Social Studies - the main partner organisation for the Civil Society Building Knowledge Programme. In Central America and Southern Africa, we are currently focusing on social movements and citizenship, and civic action and responsive governance. Some of the key issues identified include the dynamics of civil society formation and the characteristics of civic engagement. We also want to look at the role of external actors and the ability of different types of organisations to provide a voice for marginalised groups (e.g. participatory spaces in governance processes).
