Movement Strengthening • 3 Pillars: • Mission Clarity • Social Relevance • Institutional Viability
Movement Strengthening 6 Principles • National Movements are the primary agent for their own self-growth. • A multilateral approach grounded in the 3 pillars. • The concept of Subsidiarity. • The commitment to Selectivity. • A Process orientation. • Clarity of roles and responsibilities.
Lessons LearnedGOP for Movement Strengthening is not: 1) a solution for weak movements or those in crisis, 2) a long term unlimited source of access to external funding resources, 3) a short-term band-aid solution without results, or 4) a process without an end or expected advancement or transformation.
