BACKGROUND
The Civil Coordinator is a coalition of more than 350 social movements, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), sectoral networks, territorial networks, producers' associations, unions and federations that decided to work together.
Our mission is to support, link and harmonize the efforts of the member organisations and individuals to enhance common efforts for the construction of a citizenship, aimed at achieving human and sustainable development for our country.
From our point of view, a consolidated democracy and a more human, equitable and sustainable development cannot be achieved without a strong and informed citizenship, with the capacity to demand accountability, to debate, propose and deliberate, and therefore, capable of actively intervening in the determination of the country’s future, which concerns us all.
In the beginning we sought a national vision that combines the specific realities of the different sectors of society, with our accumulated knowledge and skills. We were convinced that the reconstruction of Nicaragua presents an extraordinary opportunity to set the foundations and create the necessary conditions for environmentally sustainable human development.
We are in constant movement, working within various sectors and in practically all of the country's departments and municipalities. The Civil Coordinator brings together and combines knowledge, experience, global insight, specific viewpoints, sectoral visions, and the capacity to mobilize and to have an influence in the following areas: preventive and curative health (both physical and psycho-social); formal and informal education; the environment; the economy; childhood, adolescence and youth; community development and promotion; attention to and empowerment of women; sexuality; local power; housing; credit; nutrition; citizens' security; forestry production; rural and urban production; micro-business; cooperatives; human rights; research; communication; foreign debt; commerce; cultural promotion; church and pastoral work and many others.
We know and understand the interests, needs and demands of the social sectors with which we work on a daily basis and with whom we are in permanent dialogue. We have the capacity to coordinate with all of the other social actors that contribute knowledge, experiences and resources towards reconstruction and growth. With all of this accumulated energy, we feel fully capable of participating actively in the formulation and implementation of a national development plan produced by consensus.
