Corporación Conciudadanía is a nonprofit, non-partisan, civil society organization that promotes citizen participation in order to strengthen local democracy and active citizenship. Conciudadanía works to promote an ecologically and socially responsible model of citizenship to address all socio-environmental conflicts through democratic and non-violent resolution. The organization promotes peaceful coexistence and reconciliation to build peace from daily actions and to ensure the rights and diginity of all people.

Conciudadanía works to implement peace as a broad concept that extends beyond formal peace agreements and negotiations, and which must be constantly strengthened by the state and society. The work of Conciudadanía empowers women and other gender minorities to be social and political actors in public life as well as working with men to strengthen non-hegemonic masculinities. ICAN’s Innovative Peace Fund has supported Corporación Conciudadanía since 2023.

Core Areas of Work:

  • Civic engagement
  • Peacemaking
  • Strengthen democratic governance and institutions

We are trying to bring new concepts to transform democracy so that it is sustainable for peacebuilding and so that it is designed with a feminist perspective.

– Gloria Amparo Alzate Castaño Director, Corporación Ciudadanía
