Partenaires Through CARE Danmark, the network of climate is supported in Vietnam, Tanzania and Niger. CARE Danmark also supports the thematic networks of forestry and climate. The Southern Voices is a consortium between five Danish organisations : CARE Danmark, Folkekirkens Nødhjælp, Vedvarende Energi, Ulandsorganisationen Ibis and KULU. CARE Danmark coordinates the project, which also contains cooperation with two international organisations, CAN International and IIED.

Objectif
The program of Southern Voices aims to give people, who live daily with the consequences of climate changes, a stronger voice in the decision-making processes. The Southern Voices are trying to strengthen the network of climate in and across countries, which are already afflicted by the climate changes. Internationally, networks of climate are braced to make an impact on the decisions-makers. This secures a stronger voice of those, who have experienced the climate changes themselves.

Activités
Among other things, the Southern Voices works with advocating activities, public information, capacitive construction and strengthening of internal and public knowledge of the cooperation organs. As a part of the program, the networks had to make analysis and estimate the policy of climate in both their own countries and on an internationally level. This knowledge was collected in an international report, which was published right before COP17 in South Africa in 2012.

Groupes cibles : The program supports 11 national, 6 regional and 3 thematic networks of climate in civil society organistions.

Budget : January 2011 – December 2012 (Phase 1) : 8 million DKK financed by Danida. January 2013 – July 2014 (Phase 2) : 10 million DKK financed by Danida.
