Hivos has developed five strategies for promoting the voices and choices of marginalized people, while strengthening civil society overall. This primer is about the second strategy: forging multi-actor initiatives.
Hivos’ multi-actor initiatives take different forms, have different objectives, follow different processes and engage with different stakeholders. Nevertheless, by bringing together our own experiences and those of others, we can point out insights and guidelines that are useful across initiatives and regions.
The insights and guidelines captured in this primer are meant for all who engage with multi-actor initiatives, either to coordinate, strategize, manage, implement, monitor and/or reflect on different aspects of these initiatives.
