The Civil Society Index

The Civil Society Index (CSI) is a tool used to assess the strength and effectiveness of civil society organizations in a country. It evaluates aspects such as the legal environment, public engagement, and the impact of these organizations on society. By analyzing these factors, the CSI helps to understand how well civil society can advocate for rights, contribute to democracy, and address social issues. It serves as a benchmark for governments, funders, and activists to improve and support civil society initiatives, promoting a more active and informed citizen participation in public life.
