Through the GFF-CIVIC Platform, CIVIC will also build a knowledge hub and a community of practitioners working on shared health priorities. By facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogues and sharing best practices, CIVIC will serve as the connective tissue between civil society organizations (CSOs), social innovation networks, WBG programs and country-level initiatives, ensuring alignment between global priorities and local needs, opening and/or reinforcing civic space.

By leveraging the unique position and convening power of the World Bank, the CIVIC and GFF partnership has the potential to drive more strategic and impactful grantmaking to civil society organizations (CSOs) and youth-lead Organizations (YLOs). CIVIC's flexible financing and support model will enhance systematic engagement with CSOs and YLOs and ensure integration/coordination with GFF and Bank operations. This will reduce fragmentation and promote alignment with country priorities. CIVIC is more than a financing facility; it is a partnership incubator and a knowledge, learning, and technical assistance hub.

CIVIC team members will convene CSOs, YLOs, governments and World Bank/GFF technical experts and teams, and other relevant stakeholders to foster strategic dialogue, monitoring, evaluation, and alignment with other key partners.

To promote locally grounded solutions with global coordination, CIVIC will support two competitively selected global consortiums. These consortiums will serve as hubs for regional and country-level partners, providing funding, capacity building, and strategic guidance to amplify impact. Each consortium will engage a diverse group of civil society actors—including youth organizations—to lead advocacy, build coalitions, and foster accountability at both the grassroots and policy levels.
