Aims, countries and dates

Since 2012, partner conferences have been held in the countries of the Global South as part of the weltwärts programme. These conferences give the German organisations’ partners an opportunity to discuss current developments at weltwärts, play an active role in designing the programme and to network with other organisations.

What are the aims of cross-organisation partner conferences?

Cross-organisation partner conferences in the weltwärts programme have three aims. First, they are intended to promote participation and dialogue between partner organisations and the programme’s central steering body, the Programme Steering Committee (PSC). Second, they enable partner organisations to engage in a dialogue and to network with one another as well as to identify topics where there is a shared feeling that they are of importance for the development of the weltwärts programme. Third, and as an overall aim, the conferences strengthen civil society structures and the partnership-based approach to the programme’s work.

Where else have partner conferences taken place?

There were 34 cross-organisation partner conferences between 2012 and 2019. Conferences in Uruguay and Germany are planned to take place in March and June 2019.
