Civil Society Groups

Civil society groups are organizations and associations formed voluntarily by individuals and communities to address social, political, or environmental issues outside of government or business. They include non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, charities, and community organizations that work to promote public interests, protect rights, and foster civic engagement. These groups play a vital role in holding authorities accountable, raising awareness, and providing services, contributing to a healthier, more inclusive society. Their activities help ensure diverse voices are heard and societal needs are met beyond the scope of government or private sector efforts.
