DIGIPEER: Supporting Stakeholder Collaboration with Digitalisation

DIGIPEER

Digital Peer-Learning for Civil Society

How can digitalization support stakeholder collaboration processes?

“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 learned about and build their capacities regarding practical 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 and the funded part of the programme was closed in December 2020.

You can read about the structure of the programme from the first surveys, over the studies and the learning materials that resulted from the interactive workshops to an overview of the overall curriculum.

And you can explore digital opportunities with CLI. Enjoy exploring DIGIPEER!

Surveys

In January 2020 we asked you about your opinion regarding the benefits or potential obstacles of digital dialogues for development cooperation. Your stories have been collected in the Digipeer Study 1. Your responses helped us to make our facilitation of the online seminars and 3D learnspaces interesting and relevant to your needs.

For the second study we wanted to see how your opinion on digital dialogues for development cooperation might have changed on the one hand and, on the other hand, understand how our DigiPeer program helped you in your work.
The Digipeer Study 2 was published in November 2020.

CLI virtual office

Virtual CLI showroom

The 360° showroom is a virtual space to get to know the Collective Leadership Insitute (CLI). It is exclusively illustrated for CLI as imagined office by a lake to reflect the actual location of the German office in Potsdam (Dutch Quarter) but also to reflect some wishful thinking of being close to lakes and rivers.
This room will also change and expand from time to time.

The online courses in Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships (MAP project, also funded by Engagement Global),
