The Alliance Community is an online forum for members to discuss, share and connect with other members.
This month on the Alliance Community activity included:
- Recent sign-ups from: The Halo Trust, Tearfund, Mercy Corps, Fair Trade Scotland, Vine Trust and Christian Aid. You can view the introductions thread to learn more about the new users and their favourite development fuzzwords! Have you introduced yourself to the network yet?
- Discussion of the impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) on programme delivery. Do you have an experience to share? Vote in our poll and share your current challenges.
- Resources designed for organisations responding to the Covid-19 pandemic such as ‘The COVID-19 Learning Pathway’ available on Kaya and information created for Scotland based organisations available on the SCVO Information Hub. Have you found any good resources that members would find useful?
- A recently created space to convene member conversations ahead of COP 26 in Glasgow, including threads to collaborate on a communications strategy, a photo and film exhibition, and to collect requests for capacity building around climate related themes. Have you seen any interesting examples of climate change across the web?
