The Centre
The International Civil Society Centre helps the leading international civil society organisations (ICSOs) maximise their impact for a sustainable and more equitable world.
The Centre works with ICSOs such as Amnesty International, Greenpeace or Oxfam to successfully navigate change. We scan the horizon for opportunities and threats; enable learning and cooperation among ICSOs and their stakeholders; support ICSOs in developing effective leadership; and promote robust accountability to strengthen ICSOs’ legitimacy. The Centre is a not-for-profit organisation fully owned by the organisations it serves. We strive to set high standards in management, governance and strategy for ICSOs and the wider sector.
The Centre has entered a new strategic direction and is sharpening its profile as a convenor, innovator and platform for collaboration. We envision a stronger role in futures and innovation work and seek to develop new partnerships and supporters on the way forward – therefore, the fundraising ambitions have been raised and capacities are being strengthened.
