*Functional Context*
The five-year strategic objective of the AVJCA program is “By 2025, local
civil society groups have claimed a central role as empowered innovators,
facilitators and advocates of climate solutions”. Our program is about
climate justice i.e. climate change is not only an environmental problem to
be addressed but also a societal challenge with ethical and human rights
aspects. Hence our intention is to build wide societal support for locally
shaped climate solutions through an inclusive and rights-based approach.
This includes building a broad-based climate alliance at country level,
bridging divides (urban-rural, gender, youth), that amplifies voices in
new, unusual ways. In addition, we will influence national and global
policies and financial flows in support of these locally shaped solutions.
The program will be implemented by an alliance of 6 organizations: WWF NL,
Hivos, SouthSouthNorth, Akina Mama wa Afrika, Shack Dwellers International,
Fundación Avina. During the 5 years’ program period the alliance aims to
increase ownership of the program by local CSOs. The program is funded by
the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the “Power of Voices”
framework.
