Abstract
Solidarity partnerships are established out of an articulation of a feeling of solidarity between poor and marginalized people the world over interested in redressing the global balance. The benefits available for organizations and networks which partner internationally are well demonstrated. People-centred economies were a focus of numerous plenary sessions of the Canadian Community Economic Development conference. A pro-civil society approach to aid delivery recalls another more general recommendation for advocacy that civil society organizations should not be afraid of government, and should openly challenge and engage them in dialogue. The workshop report provides details of sessions.
