Civil
Society in Nigeria: Contributing to Social Change
The CIVICUS Civil Society Index (CSI) project in
Nigeria was implemented by Action Aid Nigeria and
DevNet with the support from UNDP Nigeria. The
Nigerian CSI diamond reveals that the civil society
in Nigeria is moderate in terms of the elements that
concern the environment dimension. The structure,
values and impact dimensions have been identified as
its strengths. The important role that civil society
plays in creating and implementing public policies
has been noted. Challenges that exist are mainly
related to current democratic and development areas
and these needs to be effectively met. This calls
for the creation of programmes that address people’s
needs rather than donor-driven ones. Although there
is overwhelming evidence in public trust in CSOs,
there is room for improvement in the cultivation of
internal democratic governance practices and values;
and increasing networking and information sharing
with other CSOs |
