ISF-Ar develops engineering projects aimed at the fulfillment of fundamental human rights such as water and sanitation, education or work in urban and rural communities in vulnerable situations in Argentina. Its mission is to collaborate in the construction of a just, inclusive and caring society through the participatory elaboration of comprehensive technology-based projects; promote engineering geared towards sustainable human development, the fulfillment of Human Rights, the care of nature and the strengthening of populations in vulnerable situations; and promote a space that integrates diversity and mobilizes citizen participation. The problems to which ISF-Ar responds are situations of social vulnerability in communities characterized by isolation and the absence of the Government. These situations are answered with infrastructure works, whether it be construction and expansion of community infrastructure, such as kindergartens, community spaces and schools, or water supply systems. On the other hand, a response is given by convening the state and other social actors in order to make visible and articulate work networks that strengthen these territories. The strategic priorities of the next three years include 1) Deepening the impact on local development, professionalizing territorial work and coordinating with other social organizations, municipalities and public bodies 2) Increasing the scope and scale of the water access program in rural communities 3) Promote the strengthening program for organizations through community infrastructure and advisory programs 4) Design and implement an intervention strategy in confinement contexts 5) Promote advocacy on public policies and participation in spaces for debate and decision-making in the areas of interest of the organization 6) Systematize and produce knowledge about the experiences, methodologies and topics addressed such as engineering social impact, gender perspective, Infrastructure and human rights, participatory design and climate crisis. The challenges to achieve the objectives are the formation of a professional interdisciplinary team to address social complexity, as well as the economic sustainability of the organization to be able to engage in long-term projects in the territories in a stable way as well as to expand the scale of the interventions. Another great challenge is the articulation with the State, which in many cases depends on the current political scenario. For the objective of producing knowledge and influencing spaces for debate, one challenge is to obtain funds that allow for further study in this regard.

The Community Initiative Action Group Kenya (CIAG-K) is a human rights, social justice, and social policy organization founded in 2008. Focus: They work as a non-state agency and non-profit organization, dedicated to empowering communities and advocating for social change. Mission: CIAG-K's core mission is to empower communities, organizations, and social interest groups. Their aim is to transform societies for the benefit of the vulnerable and marginalized. Values: Their work is guided by principles of integrity, accountability, transparency, respect, diligence, and inclusivity. In essence, CIAG-K works to ensure that the voices of the most vulnerable are heard and that they have the resources and support needed to claim their rights and improve their lives. To achieve its long-term goal and vision, CIAG-K theory of change therefore seeks focuses on three areas namely; (i) Influencing policy change: through strategic high-level engagement with duty bearers though round tables with Court users' committees County Assembly, Ministry of interior and coordination, and the Governor among others (ii) Promoting citizen engagement, action and empowerment: CIAG-K recognizes that low levels of awareness and ignorance among citizens on their rights, roles and responsibilities in the Access to justice and rule of law are major obstacles that limits the realization of the full benefits in the Constitution of Kenya 2010. This denies citizens opportunities to reap maximally with respect to legally and constitutionally available public participation spaces provided due to their limited capacity to hold their leaders accountable for their actions. CIAG has developed tools for community groups participation in Budget making processes across all the four key stages of formulation, approval, execution and oversight as strategy to link and visualize government priorities by following the money and hence easily rally community against critical issues. However very little attention has been given on access to justice sector and this is a gap that CIAG will be seeking to address (iii) Promoting transparency and accountability through establishment and strengthening the capacity of community structures: Engaging change agents that comprise community own resource persons (mobilizers and advocacy champions) trained and capacity build by CIAG to catalyse change. This involves application of social accountability tools to carry out social audits of development projects as mechanisms of improving service delivery and holding duty bearers to account. Capacity building the community lies at the heart of CIAG strategy right from enhancing access to information, organizing community to demand justice and journeying with community through social accountability tools has worked as a best practice in engaging with targeted groups. (iv) Use Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) to amplify the voices of the vulnerable and marginalized to demand and defend their rights: CIAG leverages on media platforms-both mainstream and social media to drive its advocacy and policy influencing agenda. (v) Using Human Rights-Based Approach (HRBA) as a strategy to in tackling access to justice challenges and accountability deficits: That underpins CIAG work where citizens' rights are at the centre of development as enshrined under the bill of rights in the constitution.
