Mission & Interests

Goals: CIDSE is an international family of Catholic social justice organisations from Europe & North America working together for global justice. Central to CIDSE’s policy formulation and advocacy is its member organisations’ work with local partner organisations in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Contributing to the fight against poverty and inequality, as well as bringing about sustainable development and well-being by challenging global structural injustices are key elements of CIDSE’s mission, which we attempt to achieve through joint advocacy, campaigning and development cooperation work. Our current priority issues are food sovereignty and land justice, corporate power impunity, the relationship between energy and extractivism and their intersections with human rights; decolonisation; feminism; climate and biodiversity justice; economic and political systems, Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory.
