Program to be audited Phase 3 of the Train to Transform Programme aims to strengthen and promote the practices and strategies implemented by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to foster the empowerment and autonomy of vulnerable populations, as well as their engagement in economic, social, and environmental alternatives. This programme is essential in addressing this crucial challenge: strengthening the participation of communities in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the dynamics of social change, and strengthening the practices and strategies of CSOs to promote this participation through cross-disciplinary perspectives and peer learning. Through knowledge sharing, cross-cutting analyses, and the production of thematic and methodological resources, the Train to Transform (FpT) Collective aims to enrich the practices and strategies of its member CSOs to support vulnerable populations in their journey toward empowerment and engagement in social change. The strength of this "Training to Transform" program lies in fostering the participation of vulnerable populations in actions and reflections on social change, through: · Field activities implemented in Senegal, Rwanda, DR Congo, Haiti, Peru, Bolivia, India and France, aimed at strengthening the empowerment of vulnerable populations to contribute to the emergence of a society based on principles of solidarity, social and ecological justice; · Capacity building activities for CSOs to support participatory dynamics of social change; · Activities to ensure the sustainability of the collective of civil society actors committed to social change, entitled "Training to Transform," of which the CSOs participating in this program are members. This Collective aims to strengthen and promote the actions of CSOs for social change through a collaborative approach and through capitalization activities, peer-to-peer learning, and the co-production of resources on the theme of social change. Everything done at the Collective level is designed to improve the effectiveness and impact of field activities with vulnerable populations.
