CIDSE’s strategic framework (2016-2021) has been extended until the end of 2022. (see here http://www.cidse.org/articles/rethinking-development/new-strategic-framework-the-cidse-network-embarks-on-a-new-adventure.html).
A mid-term review of the CIDSE strategic framework was carried out during the first half of 2019 which reconfirmed CIDSE’s overall strategy and objectives.

A s a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, CIDSE had to adapt its policy and advocacy work in 2020; physical events were cancelled and replaced by online meetings and webinars. The crisis confirmed CIDSE’s systemic approach and the interconnectedness of its thematic priorities.

A Framework Partnership Agreement was signed with the European Commission – Directorate General for International Cooperation and Development (DG-DEVCO) in November 2018. The contract officially started on 1st January 2019 and will cover a period of 54 months.

CIDSE is also a 'Global CSO" member of the European Commission Policy Forum on Development, a space for civil society related to EU development cooperation.
