Abstract
As included in recommendations for strengthening the role of Civil Society Organizations in development processes: “Reaffirming the recognition of the full diversity of CSOs as independent development actors in their own right, CSOs play roles that complement but are distinct from those of governments and the for-profit private sector, whether in provision of services, empowering people or influencing policy and legislation.” Also important are guarantees that include: freedom of association, freedom of expression, the right to operate free from unwarranted state interference, the right to communicate and cooperate, the right to seek and secure funding, and the state’s duty to protect.
