In implementing the CSI, national civil society organisations and stakeholders make use of qualitative and quantitative research methods to create an assessment of the state of civil society in their country. This assessment is then used to collectively set goals and create an agenda for strengthening civil society in the future.
The results of the CSI implementation are available through various reports (Analytical Country Report, Policy Action Brief, Case Studies). The data and results captured in these reports is collected in the Civil Society Index Indicator Database, which was developed in order to ensure the availability of civil society data collected through the CSI programme to a global audience.
To this end, the CSI Indicator Database is:
- easily accessible online
- searchable by country, dimension and individual indicator
- available free of charge
All you need to do is set up your username and password and start searching!
The Civil Society Index is currently being implemented in over 50 countries. As the data is still being processed and reports will be published soon, the indicator database currently presents the results of the previous implementation phase, spanning from 2003 to 2006. It will be updated in the future.
