The Latin America network aims to improve practice through exchange and joint learning, raising awareness that we are all part of a common effort towards transformation. Reflect-Action is used explicitly as an approach within the network, focusing on the power relationships between members as a starting point for reflection and learning.
There are now seven national networks in Latin America, and three more in the process of formation, with about 55 member organisations including NGOs, social and popular movements.
