Help Strengthen Organizations in Argentina!

On July 24th, RACI participated in the “Territory and Future” meeting at the Honorable Legislature of Tucumán, a space for intersectoral dialogue among public, private, international cooperation, and social actors. RACI presented an analysis on the current state of international cooperation and civil society in Argentina, and moderated a roundtable discussion that shed light on local challenges while promoting territorial collaboration and actionable proposals.

On July 29th, RACI relaunched its membership program with a renewed proposal featuring six new categories designed for social organizations, networks, universities, foundations, individuals, and companies committed to social transformation. This new structure aims to foster a more diverse, inclusive, and sustainable community, reflecting the evolving landscape of civil society in Argentina and beyond.

On August 13rd, we also presented the World Giving Index 2025 at Universidad de San Andrés. This global report by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) analyzes solidarity behaviors—such as donations, volunteering, and community support—across more than 100 countries. The event brought together over 80 representatives from the social, academic, and international cooperation sectors to exchange perspectives on the present and future of generosity and collective action.

On September 24th, RACI participated in a roundtable discussion during the United Nations General Assembly in New York, focusing on the role of philanthropy and civil society in today’s global context. The event, organized by the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), brought together leaders and experts from around the world to reflect on how cross-sector collaboration can drive social change. RACI represented the voice of Argentine and Latin American civil society in this international space, where the preliminary version of the World Giving Report: Charity Insights was also presented.

On October 9th, we launched the study “Collaborations for the Future,” conducted jointly by Fundación Avina and RACI. The current geopolitical context in Latin America presents significant challenges for collective civil society spaces, but also opportunities for innovation and resilience. Through a survey involving over 70 Latin American networks and coalitions, the study sought to understand how these ecosystems are evolving to foster more effective and context-sensitive collaboration. The event shared key findings gathered from across the region, offering valuable insights for future joint action.

With the support of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, RACI organized the training cycle Transform Your Work: Strengthening Strategies for CSOs, composed of four specialized modules.

 - Efficient Financial Management: Strengthening institutional capacities in planning, strategic use of resources, and funding diversification.
- Agile Methodologies: Exploring innovation tools such as Scrum and Kanban adapted to the work of Civil Society Organizations.
- Storytelling: Focusing on narrative communication, emphasizing the power of stories over data, narrative structures, and multi-channel adaptation.
- Social Impact Assessment and Results Measurement: Learning to measure, analyze, and communicate the real impact of projects to strengthen accountability and informed decision-making.

This period reaffirmed RACI’s mission to connect, strengthen, and amplify the voice of civil society organizations through collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing.
