This document discusses networks of social initiatives in Bogota, Colombia and other places that aim to create social change through collective action. It notes over 2,000 nonprofits and 50,000 people directly involved in issues like child rights, elder rights, and victims of armed conflict. It provides some reflections on the changing relationship between citizens, governments, and NGOs and how social media is just an amplification of communication rather than the focus. It encourages experimentation, collaboration over just funding, and being open while acknowledging the challenges of coherence.
