Global Civil Society Index

The Global Civil Society Index measures the strength and activity of organizations and groups that operate independently from government and business, such as NGOs, community groups, and advocacy groups. It evaluates how vibrant, effective, and inclusive these organizations are within a society. A high index indicates active civic engagement, a strong sense of community, and spaces for citizens to participate and influence decisions. It helps assess the health of a society’s civil infrastructure and its capacity for collective action, ultimately contributing to democratic development and social well-being.
