To mark the presentation of the Groupe Initiatives collective’s work on the convergence of forms of solidarity, the AFD and Groupe Initiatives are co-organising an afternoon of discussions on the subject.
The global context, marked by multiple crises, is forcing International Solidarity Organisations (ISOs) to adapt their practices and rethink their approaches. A new issue of Groupe Initiatives’ journal *Traverses* explores how to effectively coordinate actions carried out in France and internationally to strengthen the convergence of local and international solidarity. The experience and expertise gained through international action are being harnessed to address local challenges such as the ecological transition, social inclusion and citizenship education. Obstacles remain: fragmentation of funding, a lack of pooling of resources and visibility, and institutional rigidity. Further reflection is needed to better harness and adapt this wealth of experience to the dynamics of France’s local solidarity network – and vice versa. The world has not become homogeneous, but we have challenges and solutions to share.
