Accompaniments
If you are looking for personalized support, we can design and facilitate a process of reflection, learning and transformation tailored to you.
We work with organizations, networks and donors to support them in their needs and challenges. While each accompaniment is different, many fall into the categories below. We hope they can serve to inspire you!
Their experiences
with La Sobremesa
Oxfam México
http://www.oxfammexico.orgWith Oxfam México, “It was a pleasure working with Anca and the team. The process was like a journey, starting from defining the destination and what we want to achieve with the process; planning and preparing all the important elements for the conversations we are going to embark on; navigating and exploring the ideas, ambitions, and fears of the team; to landing reflections on concrete and manageable proposals. La Sobremesa is not just a consultancy, it is a ’thought partner’ and guide.”
Estefania Hechenberger
Labour and Welfare Program Manager de Oxfam México
With International Republican Institute, “Working with La Sobremesa was a seamless experience, and one of the best experiences we’ve had with an external trainer designing workshops for our partners. La Sobremesa provided two in-depth workshops to capacitate our grantee partners on how to think about and achieve greater financial sustainability. La Sobremesa listened carefully, regularly collaborated with our team, and produced tailored guidance and materials that was exactly meeting the needs of our grantees. We couldn’t recommend working with La Sobremesa more!”.

Decidim
https://decidim.org/With Decidim, “the exercises proposed by La Sobremesa have been very helpful in incorporating the fundraising culture into our organization. The development of a sustainability plan has been the perfect culmination of all this work, as it has compelled us to dedicate quality time to think and create a strategic plan for economic sustainability. The La Sobremesa team is well-versed in this field, and their experience is evident. Their advice and guidance have been key in steering the work we have done after the workshops.”

https://twitter.com/RAgricolasWith Alianza Campo Justo, “La Sobremesa’s accompaniment work is very comprehensive, complete, harmonious, reflective, and generated an atmosphere of trust and integration. They were spaces where debates were triggered and agreements were reached collectively and respectfully; also, each space was interconnected, and the continuity was always felt in each of them.”
Margarita Nemecio
With PODER, “working with La Sobremesa was very good as they challenged us to truly think about the meaning of impact and how we can not only measure it internally but also account for it. The La Sobremesa team accompanied us in these reflections with a very clear methodology and some excellent facilitators. Thanks, colleagues!”
