Drawing on evidence and specialist expertise, CECI provides advisory support to partners from civil society, the private sector and government and supports advocacy to advance policy and institutional frameworks.
Innovation, exchange, and the cross-pollination of knowledge at both the national and international level are at the heart of our work, and this is exemplified by our Voluntary Cooperation Program. We encourage collaboration between individuals from diverse backgrounds and help to build bridges between nations through intercultural exchange and international solidarity.
