Shared Services

The Center offers coordination and support services for joint projects of major CSOs.

On 1 July 2010 the Berlin Civil Society Center took over the Secretariat role of the INGO Accountability Charter, in which the largest international CSOs have outlined their shared principles and commitments and set down standards for accountability and transparency. Please visit the Charter website for more information.

In the run-up to the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan at the end of 2011, the Berlin Civil Society Center supported the ICSO Advisory Group of the Open Forum for CSO Development Effectiveness in both the production of a joint position paper and the organisation of a side event. The Advisory Group included representatives from CARE, CIVICUS, Oxfam International, Plan International, World Vision International and Transparency International.

The CSO Forum was launched in January 2011. Please access the Forum here.

The Global Governance Discussion Forum was launched in March 2012. Please access the Forum here.
