Each community is coordinate by a Seed partner – CoP Facilitator

CoP is self-contained unit, negotiates agenda, tasks among their members

Members sign Memorandum of Understanding

Budget managed autonomously (travel, training)

Transversal learning - “Matching Events” organized along three thematic priorities: careers, decision making, gender dimension

Success factors

CoP can respond to local needs

CoPs synchronize well with the commitment and motivation of many actors for gender equality

Inter-organizational setup helps to overcome the isolation of many people working on gender equality
