Innovation in democracy support isn’t always about new tools. It’s about recognizing the “invisible weavers” who connect institutions and communities every day. AL Non-Resident Fellow @guerzovich shares why visibility and not invention is what civic space needs now 👉

What if change doesn’t always mean reinventing the wheel? Sometimes, innovation is about seeing what’s already working and valuing it more intentionally.
Our Senior Non-Resident Fellow, Florencia Guerzovich, explores this idea in her recent blog, where she highlights the importance of ...the soft infrastructure and “invisible weavers”, the everyday actors and relationships that keep civic space and democracy alive.
Her key insights:
🔹 Soft infrastructure and invisible weavers matter just as much as formal coalitions.
🔹 They help bridge institutional systems with community realities.
🔹 What’s needed most is visibility and support so their work can grow and last.

Does change always require something completely new? Maybe not. Sometimes, the most meaningful innovation comes from putting existing wisdom into practice with intention and that can be truly liberating.
In her latest blog, our Senior Non-Resident Fellow, Florencia Guerzovich, invites us ...to rethink how we support governance and civic space. Instead of relying only on technocratic prescriptions, she argues for valuing the connective, coalition-building work that keeps societies stitched together.
Florencia shares three insights on where governance support can go next:
The soft infrastructure and the people she calls “invisible weavers” are just as important as formal coalitions and movements. Their everyday contributions often go unnoticed, but they keep civic space alive.
These invisible weavers act in a bilingual infrastructure, helping translate between institutional systems and the lived realities of communities.
What this work needs most isn’t invention, but visibility and support by rebalancing portfolios and how we work so that relational work can sustain and scale.
