civil society sector

The civil society sector consists of organizations and groups that operate independently from the government and private companies, focusing on social, cultural, environmental, and humanitarian issues. These include non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community groups, advocacy organizations, and charities that work to promote public interests, support vulnerable populations, and foster civic engagement. This sector plays a vital role in strengthening democratic processes, holding authorities accountable, and addressing societal needs that may not be fully met by the public or private sectors. Essentially, it acts as a bridge between citizens and government, amplifying voices and promoting social well-being.
