Movement Support

MOVE - Global Social Movement Centre implements, designs or pilots specific support mechanisms together with social movements, in order to address the lack of strategic capacity and tailored support mechanisms that enable better and safer impact of social movement work. 

MOVE provides a Social Movement Ecosystem for Human Rights Defenders and their movements to be supported in all aspects
of their work through the full lifespan of their movements. Currently, it entails an integrated set of capacity strengthening activities for activists in social movements, core movement support functions to social movements, including funding and action research on relevant movements trends. 

This document will outline how MOVE supports social movements at the right moment. It will provide an overview of the different kinds of support MOVE can offer and what criteria social movements need to fulfil to be eligible for each. MOVE consists of the components called GOLD, SMASH & REACT, while the below support framework is a full team support effort, and as such it is not important for applicants to understand where what belongs.
