In its twenty-year long experience as an NGO, CISP has learnt many practical lessons from the projects it has undertaken. For example, what are the necessary pre-conditions for which an emergency, rehabilitation, or development project can ensure its planned results? Or also, what general policy indications for different sectors can be drawn from project-based experience?

Being able to answer these questions is a priority for CISP, for two main reasons. Firstly it allows our organisation to gradually develop efficacy in its action, by designing general methodologies as well as methodologies more specific to each field of work. Secondly, CISP believes it necessary for the various groups working in the field of international solidarity (such as NGOs, the United Nations, bilateral Agencies) to commit to useful information sharing, making data, documents and methodologies available to all.
