Giving for Change programme activities focus on three core areas: 1. Community level: Giving for Change promotes community philanthropy through action research, peer learning, and small grants. It empowers communities to build local assets, agency, and trust, enabling them to organize resources for local priorities. 2. National level: Giving for Change aims to advocate for state and other stakeholders' support in integrating community philanthropy into national development strategies. This involves creating conducive environments for giving and strengthening multi-stakeholder networks and alliances. 3. Global level: Giving for Change actively participates in sector-wide discussions and debates in philanthropy and international development. Its goal is twofold: to influence these sectors and to foster more equitable partnerships. These partnerships aim to redistribute power and resources to grassroots levels, promoting the flourishing of community philanthropy.

🔍 Deinstitutionalization of the state care system remains unfinished in Bulgaria, despite what the government says. 👧🏽 While children have been moved from large institutions to smaller ‘family-type homes,' these are still isolated and disconnected from communities. This process has been labelled as "trans-institutionalisation" by experts. 🏘️ The social care system is underfunded, understaffed, and managed from the top-down, leaving little room for local, personalised solutions. Staff are often forced to stick to an outdated institutional approach. 💡 True deinstitutionalisation means supporting families to prevent separation and expanding community-based care. Our most recent research and legal actions show that Bulgaria still has a long way to go. #CISC #Bulgaria

To prevent more children from coming to harm, we need to centre children’s rights and perspectives in designing interventions across governments, online service providers, civil society organisations, and all responders. Child-centred approaches are vital as they help ensure interventions and services are responsive to the experiences, rights, and needs of children and young people so they can be safe online. #safeonline #childcentred #child rights

Calling all humanitarian evaluators: a must-not-miss workshop is coming up this July. Evaluating humanitarian action: steps, challenges and real-time learning 🗓 Thursday 25 July - Friday 26 July, 2024 📌 Bern, Switzerland Level: Introductory to intermediate level. suitable for a wide range of professionals interested in learning about evaluating humanitarian action and real-time exercises. Organised by: The Ukrainian Evaluation Association and ALNAP, part of the International Program for Development Evaluation Training (IPDET) workshop series. Evaluations of humanitarian action are more relevant than ever in a world where we are seeing crisis upon crisis and a strong call from both development and humanitarian actors for accountability and learning to be at the core of what we do. The sector needs more evaluators and evaluation managers who are attuned to the challenges and sensitivities of modern humanitarian action and who are better prepared to use innovative ways of evaluating and learning from crisis response, often in real-time, to support hard-pressed practitioners. This workshop will offer the opportunity to learn from seasoned evaluators in an interactive setting that combines presentations with group work, where learning will be applied to real-life case studies. Participants will hear about the stages of evaluating humanitarian action and engage with one another to propose solutions to some of the sector’s most pressing challenges unfolding in real-time in contexts like Ukraine. Throughout the workshop, topics pertinent to the humanitarian sector, including accountability to affected populations and localization, will be touched on to give participants a sense of the broad range of considerations that humanitarian evaluations require. This workshop will use a combination of recent ALNAP research and practitioner insights from lectures who have worked on a wide range of humanitarian evaluations at the global scale and in specific crisis contexts such as Ukraine. Participants will get a 360-degree view of important considerations in the evaluation of humanitarian action and a practical, in-depth look at real-time learning exercises.
