The Power of Making Futures – 2024 Innovation Report.

Innovative locally-led initiatives that challenge power asymmetries

ICSC, in collaboration with Partos, developed the 2024 Innovation Report. The report curates locally led initiatives that innovatively challenge the power asymmetries within the international development cooperation and social justice sector and foster local innovation ecosystems across geographies.

You can find separate case study descriptions on the ICSFC website.

The 2024 Innovation Report aims to:

  • Recognise innovators from the global south who, despite being overlooked in discussions on innovation, are pioneering novel approaches that highlight their communities’ resources and inherent power.
  • Encourage the sharing and adopting innovative experiences and ideas that prioritise local ownership and leadership, fostering learning and collaboration across organisations.
  • Enhance awareness of diverse approaches to shifting power, encouraging the development of new initiatives both for ICSOs and other organisations.

Partos and ICSC hope this report will provide Northern civil society organisations with insights and actionable steps to advance their initiatives towards a power shift, inspire them to unlock their potential and explore novel strategies and collaborations to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond.
