WHO ARE WE ?
The DCI World Service Foundation (DCI-WSF) was established by the DCI International Movement in 2016 to strengthen and guide the implementation of the Movement’s Strategic Framework. The WSF supports the development of projects by providing technical expertise and conceptual advice to DCI’s National Sections and Regional Desks.
WSF facilitates the Movements’ relations with donors, public and private partners, who wish to actively contribute to the growing impact of DCI’s activities.
The WSF is strategically located in Brussels, Belgium, to connect the Movement with the EU and international partners and access project funding opportunities.
The Foundation is a legal entity under Belgian law. It is directed by a Board consisting of members from DCI Belgium, DCI Netherlands, and the International Secretariat in Geneva, as well as the DCI President and the four Vice-Presidents of the DCI International Executive Council elected by DCI’s International General Assembly (IGA).
