DIGIPEER
Digital Peer-Learning for Civil Society
How can digitalization support stakeholder collaboration processes?

CLI is pleased to announce its new, digital capacity building program for civil society organisations working worldwide in the field of sustainable development.

“DIGIPEER” is a digital peer-learning capacity building program that helps German development NGOs (direct target group) and their international partners implement projects in a more collaborative, effective, and results-oriented manner. The programme is funded by Engagement Global on behalf of the Ministry for Development Cooperation (BMZ).

Participants learn about and build their capacities regarding practical development topics, approaches to stakeholder collaboration, and virtual dialogue platforms, including how the latter can be used to improve international cooperation. DIGIPEER started in December, 2019.

FAQ
What is DIGIPEER?

DIGIPEER is a digital peer-learning capacity building program funded by Engagement Global Germany on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development to provide know-how for network-based dialogue and collaboration.

DIGIPEER lasts ten months and is based on three online seminars and three 3D peer group sessions. The online seminars and three 3D peer group sessions take place in a virtual, specially developed learning environment. The further education offers participants knowledge about concepts and methodology for successful dialogue processes with the help of new media as well as exchange of experience about fields of application and use of the new media in their international cooperation processes. During the training, the participants of the 3D peer group sessions work on their own concrete cases from their work context in order to facilitate the transfer of what they have learned into practice. DIGIPEER is designed in English and online. The learners act together in a virtual environment and are supervised by trainers.

Why DIGIPPER?

On the one hand requirements for participating in online offers have changed considerably in the recent past and digital communication, management and further training opportunities have become more present.

On the other hand coping with everyday life work has become more complex for most civil society actors, inter alias, and thus became difficult to take on presence trainings. In our view, DIGIPEER does not replace face-to-face capacity building, but we understand DIGIPEER as an accompaniment to “present” learning processes.

Who can apply?

The capacity building program offered in DIGIPEER is dedicated to German civil society organizations involved working in development cooperation and also to their international partner organizations.

Do I need any prerequisite knowledge?

No.

What do I need?

A stable internet line with 1.2 Mbps (downoad and upload) bandwidth. Participants need a computer or tablet to join the online seminars.

Are there any costs?

DIGIPEER is funded by Engagement Global. The participation is free of charge for all capacity building events.
