CIDSE, which is short for "Coopération Internationale pour le Développement et la Solidarité" (French for "International Cooperation for Development and Solidarity"), is an umbrella organization for Catholic development agencies from Europe and North America.

Areas of work

The CIDSE Secretariat ensures communication between the CIDSE member agencies and the overall coherence of CIDSE's work by facilitating working groups, platforms and fora on the issues defined in the strategic plan. The CIDSE secretariat represents CIDSE at the EU and UN level, undertakes advocacy activities and other initiatives in collaboration with members. CIDSE is registered in the European Transparency Register.^[1] CIDSE also has general status on the UN Economic and Social Council.

The Secretariat is organised into teams that coordinate various working groups in order to achieve its objectives:

Societal and ecological transformation;
Communities regaining control over the commons;
Facing climate change: just and sustainable food and energy models;
Change starts with us.

Apart from the themes of the working groups, CIDSE manages an international campaign for sustainable lifestyles titles Change for the Planet - Care for the People. The campaign encourages living simply by reducing overall energy consumption and making sustainable food choices in order for individuals to minimize their environmental impact, allow producers to gain fair livelihoods, and respect human rights.^[2]

History

CIDSE was founded in 1967. CIDSE was founded to coordinate tasks identified by the Second Vatican Council as important tasks for the Catholic Church, namely, to care for the poor and the oppressed and to work for more justice on a global level. Since 2008, CIDSE has been expanding its approach to global justice. The 2010-2015 Strategic Framework supported a process of 'paradigm shift' with which CIDSE embarked on new work streams in a dialogue with several partners and allies to rethink development, critique systemic failures in the economy and society and look at alternatives to promote.^[3] In the 2016-2021 Strategic Framework, CIDSE redefined itself in this framework as an international family of Catholic social justice organisations working for transformational change to end poverty and inequalities, challenging systemic injustice, inequity, destruction of nature and promoting just and environmentally sustainable alternatives.^[4]

Principles

The work of CIDSE is motivated by:

the second encyclical of Pope Francis titled Laudato si',
the Gospel and the Christian social teaching,
the vocation and mission of the laity in the Church and the World,
the dialogue with other religions and
the Sign of the times.

Membership

CIDSE currently has 18 member organisations from Europe and North America. CIDSE also works within a varied group of broader coalitions and alliances such as Climate Action Network, CONCORD and the European Laudato Si Alliance.

-The intention of setting up a lay-led coordination body for Catholic aid agencies was first expressed at the Eucharistic Congress in Munich in 1960 and was taken up again 1964 during the Vatican II Council. There reigned a sense of fraternity favorable to international co-operation and a spiritual concern for rediscovering the Lenten meaning of true sharing beyond mere alms-giving. On 18 November 1965 the foundation of CIDSE was agreed and in December 1965 this plan had been approved by the Holy See. In 1967 CIDSE got operational with its registration as an international non-profit organization under Belgium law and with the opening of an office in Brussels.
+==Principles==
-The seven CIDSE founding members (from Germany, Austria, Belgium, United States, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland) were organisations sponsored by their national bishops’ conferences which carried out Lenten campaigns and supported development initiatives in Southern countries. Originally the acronym CIDSE stood for "Coopération Internationale pour le Développement Socio-Economique" (International Cooperation for Socio-economic Development). It changed to "Coopération Internationale pour le Développement et la Solidarité" (International Cooperation for Development and Solidarity) in 1981. Throughout the decades, CIDSE’s membership increased. Today the network consists of 18 members from Europe and North America. Overview of the growth of the CIDSE members: 1965- 7 members, 1969- 10 members, 1974- 12 members, 1987- 14 members, 2012- 16 members, 2013- 17 members, 2016- 18 members.

+The work of CIDSE is motivated by:
-Over the past decades CIDSE, together with its members, has been in the frontline of many important struggles for justice, human rights, democracy, peace and the environment. The anti-apartheid movement, the Jubilee Debt Campaign, the Make Poverty History campaign, and the Beyond 2015 campaign are examples of CIDSE’s international engagement
