Abstract
This paper examines the emergence of community development foundations in Southern countries, which are often serving as vehicles for collaboration between civil society and other actors as well as for strengthening the role of civil society itself. Perhaps most importantly, they can offer a mechanism for including those most often left out (local community organizations) in decision making and access to resources.
It also examines some differences and commonalities between such foundations and foundations in the developed countries of their North.
The paper also contains brief profiles of the Esquel Foundation in Ecuador and of emerging initiatives in Mozambique, Zimbabwe, West Africa and the Philippines.
