As CSOs face shrinking aid, growing funding inequalities and increasing pressure on civic space, stronger partnerships are needed to build resilience. Developed by the Global Solutions Lab as part of the Local Leadership Labs initiative, The Dialogue is a practical resource that helps funders and CSOs engage in open, trust-based conversations that challenge traditional power dynamics and promote locally led development. The guide provides practical tools for organising dialogues that foster solidarity, mutual learning and collective problem-solving, creating space for more equitable and sustainable partnerships. It offers valuable insights for donors, CSOs and facilitators seeking to strengthen collaboration and contribute to a more connected, resilient and future-ready civil society ecosystem.
