19. Civic Society-Building

Civic society-building strengthens independent non-governmental and non-military organizations, including helping voluntary organizations develop legal, financial and regulatory frameworks.

Civic society can be defined as the political space between the individual and government, expressed by membership in NGOs, social groups, associations, and other organizations which may, among other activities, advocate political positions on behalf of their members.


Objectives
Civic society-building aims to support democratic pluralistic society and peaceful political transition to democracy. Building civil society increases opportunities for individuals and groups to interact politically with the government to achieve major political changes such as electoral reform or executive power-sharing, contributing to democratic transition and consolidation.
