We are CIVICUS, the global alliance of civil society organisations and activists dedicated to strengthen-ing citizen action and civil society around the world. We strive to promote marginalised voices, espe-cially from the Global South, and have members in more than 145 countries throughout the world. Since 1993, we have been dedicated to enhancing the rights, freedoms, health and vitality of civil so-ciety as a whole.

We believe that a healthy society is one where people have multiple opportunities to participate, come together, deliberate and act for the common good. We work for civil society, protecting and growing the civic space where people can express and organise themselves.

We regularly monitor, research and analyse global events and trends that impact civil society and we aim to strengthen civil society by bringing diverse actors together, generating and sharing knowledge and improving its effectiveness. We work to ensure that civil society voices are heard and to achieve im-pact we communicate, campaign and advocate.

Our membership spans sectoral, thematic and ge-ographic divides and is open to both individual cit-izens and organisations. Our ability to amplify and strengthen the voices and fight for the freedoms of ordinary people goes hand in hand with a strong global alliance. We believe that together we are stronger, so we always welcome new members and partners that share our values and vision.

Throughout the past year the world witnessed citizen uprisings across countries and regions regardless of state democratic strength and economic advancements. In many countries with strong civil society institutions and demonstrated economic development – such as Turkey, Brazil and Venezuela – civil unrest was rampant. The voice of civil society, however, was repressed at the domestic level, and further ignored by the eyes and ears of global governance; citizens were confronted with a Double Democratic Deficit.

Published in the CIVICUS 2014 State of Civil Society Report (SOCS), the tight overlap and collusion between economic and political elites exacerbated dissatisfaction, frustration and civic unrest. Further, the SOCS Report expressed the irony between the role of governance and that of issues facing citizens across the world; we wit-nessed many of the worst acts of repression against those seeking environmental justice and protection of land rights, those seeking government transparency and equitable policies, and those fighting for climate justice. Citizens’ expectations for participation and political accountability have continued to change, and governance structures have not responded accordingly. On the domestic level, governance accountability remains biased towards the interests of corporate and economic elites while on the global level governance has continued to skew policy towards the interests of a handful of states.

In my experience, I have been reminded of the importance of a strong, inclusive civil society again and again. A vibrant civic space that harnesses the energy, creativity and perspectives of youth, women, indigenous com-munities and other people’s movements. We must continue to operate, think and act on the founding core ideas of CIVICUS, an alliance that places civil society at the heart of our work, and protects the people we were founded to serve – citizens from across the world. A vibrant civil society is more than an objective or goal, it’s a sacred value that allows all people to hold those in power accountable, make informed decisions on the future of their communities, and participate freely and openly in society without fear or intimidation, while they demand justice and protection of fundamental rights.

CIVICUS will launch a multi-stakeholder initiative, The Big Development DataShift, as a platform to measure the vitals of civil society and place power with the people. Never before in the history of the world has so much data been accessible – it will be the task of CIVICUS, however, to tailor data systems to effectively measure civic freedoms and grant citizen voice to previous arenas reserved for elite politicians, bureaucrats and academics.

CIVICUS will continue to improve and develop solutions to the most pressing issues of civil society. We will continue to adapt to new funding platforms and push towards a model with less donor dependency and in-creased membership accountability. I very much hope that you will join us from the 19th – 25th of November 2014 for International Civil Society Week in Johannesburg to discuss the weeks’ uniting theme, “Citizen Action, People Power”.

Thank you for supporting our work and your continued efforts to ensure civic space is open, transparent and vibrant. Nyaradzayi GumbonzvandaBoard Chair

Secretary-General’s Message

In 2012-13 CIVICUS was busy agreeing our strategic objectives for the next 5 years. In the following pages, you will get a glimpse of how we have been putting these ideas into practice in 2013-14.

On a personal level, I have been particularly proud of three initiatives. The first is the Big Development DataShift initiative, an ambitious attempt to invest in the capacity of citizens and civil society organisations to collect, curate and use development data. If we realise our ambitions, we will revolutionise the way we monitor progress, and create new forms of people-powered accountability, especially around the post-2015 sustain-able development goals. The second is our latest State of Civil Society Report. This year we focused on how to make our global governance institutions more accountable, and experimented with the pilot scorecard of how well intergovernmental organisations engage civil society. And the third is the #BeTheChange campaign. This is an attempt to inspire people around the world to get involved in civic activism. Our first day of action involved more than 20,000 people at 46 events in 25 countries.

I hope these three examples show how we are trying to achieve our strategic mission of strengthening citizen action and civil society. But the last year has also been as much about internal improvements as about finding bold and pragmatic ways of delivering our mission.

What you won’t see so clearly in the following pages are the investments we have been making in improving our own organisational effectiveness. For example, we have conducted independent audits of how we manage human resources and informational technology. This has resulted in overhauling our systems and processes in both areas, allowing us to work faster and smarter. We have also spent a lot of time stabilising our finances. This has led to improved cashflow and reserves, and we have managed to record a small surplus for the second consecutive year.

These ‘behind the scenes’ improvements will help make CIVICUS more sustainable and help us weather the storm that all civil society organisations are facing in such a turbu-lent operating environment.

I hope to see many members in Johannesburg in November 2014 for International Civil Society Week. This will be our first World Assembly held in South Africa, and an important contribution to our host country’s celebration of 20 years of democracy and freedom.

In solidarity, Dhananjayan Sriskandarajah

The third annual CIVICUS State of Civil Society report on ‘Reimagining Global Governance’, featured contributions from more than 30 of the world’s leading experts on civil society.

We piloted our first Intergovernmental Organisation Scorecard using input from more than 450 civil society organisations to assess how well intergovernmental organisations engage civil society.

Our emergency advocacy intervention support enabled 25 civil society actors and organisations around the world to address grave human rights violations.

We implemented the pilot phase of our new Civil Society Index Rapid Assess-ment tool in 6 African countries.

We deepened our engagement at the UN Human Rights Council, facilitat-ing over 15 partner-led side events and submitting 10 Universal Periodic Reviews and nearly 30 oral statements on threats to freedoms of expression, association and assembly.

We supported 8 multi-stakeholder dialogues, initiated by local civil society organisations that engaged more than 400 citizens in addressing challenges experienced within their communities.

We saw a huge increase in our social media presence with Facebook followers increasing from 11,900 to 21,200 in less than a year and our work engaging more than 2.4 million people online.

We launched 3 new initiatives, The Big Development DataShift, Action/2015 and Sustainable Development 2015, all aiming to enhance civil society participa-tion in post-2015 MDG processes.

More than 300 civil society actors from around the world took part in Interna-tional Civil Society Week, which included 2 major conferences and 6 events.

We launched our new ‘Be the Change’ website and Global Day of Citizen Action to celebrate and inspire citizen action and to raise awareness of civic space, its importance and the need to protect it.

Our membership grew significantly to include members in more than 145 coun-tries around the world.

Protecting fundamen-tal civil society rights in countries where they are threatened

1CIVICUS seeks to fulfil this aim by mapping and publishing evidence of threats to civil

society around the world, by connecting and building capacity amongst human rights defenders, and by supporting and engaging in targeted advocacy work.

Crisis Response Fund

CIVICUS continued to support civil soci-ety organisations and individual human rights defenders under threat through the auspices of the Crisis Response Fund,

Threats to Civil Society: re-search and analysis

Working with partners around the world, we sought to raise the public profile of restrictions faced by civil society through our alerts and press statements, opinion pieces in international media, blogs and a number of open letters. Multiple inter-views with legal and civil society experts also helped to highlight the grave threats affecting civil society both nationally and globally.

A research report exploring ‘Global Trends on Civil Society Restrictions’ included evidence of 413 threats to civil society in 87 countries in less than two years; a sustained pattern of attack. Two policy action briefs examined serious threats to civil society in Cambodia and Sri Lanka in more detail and a written appeal, coordinated by CIVICUS and en-dorsed by over 100 civil society organisa-tions based in 46 countries, resulted in a commitment from the Zambian govern-ment to review the restrictive 2009 NGO Act.

Our Civil Society Watch bulletin contin-ued to provide a regular round up of threats to civil society around the world to key stakeholders throughout the year. CIVICUS also produced a number of important research publications on emerging trends in civil society, including our 2014 State of Civil Society Report. (See Strategic Objective 5, page 15, for more details.)

Human rights defenders networks

A number of strategic networking meet-ings and workshops were organised by CIVICUS to share experiences and good practice and to strengthen solidarity between human rights defenders. Civil society organisations and representa-tives of the media convened on two sep-arate occasions to identify strategies for monitoring the implementation of rec-ommendations accepted by Cameroon and Nigeria at their recent reviews at the UN Human Rights Council and 15 civil society representatives came together in the Gambia to identify common posi-tions on human rights challenges ahead of that country’s 2014 Universal Periodic Review.

A workshop for women’s rights and LGB-TI persons’ rights defenders took place in Johannesburg on the fringes of Interna-tional Civil Society Week.

Targeted advocacy

CIVICUS continued to engage in advoca-cy activities to highlight both systemic and episodic threats to civil society around the globe. As part of our Civil So-ciety Behind Bars campaign, we advocat-ed for the release of civil society activists imprisoned because of their work.

an emergency fund for civil society. Having received requests from around the world addressing a diverse thematic array of human rights violations, the Fund supported a total of 14 emergency advocacy interventions. These ranged from supporting a female human rights defender from Saudi Arabia to testify at the UN Human Rights Council, to facil-itating Ugandan community efforts to challenge restrictive legislation under-mining civil society space.

12

Civic Space

The Civic Space Initiative, which aims to protect and expand civic space by fostering an enabling legal environ-ment for civil society organisations around the world, com-pleted its second year. Under the umbrella of this initiative, CIVICUS hosted a number of multi-stakeholder dialogues on the New Social Contract (see Strategic Objective 4, page 14 for more details). We also continued to follow up on commitments made by governments at the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, South Korea to create more enabling environments for civil society organisations. Seven partner-led post Universal Periodic Review consul-tations and eight Enabling Environment National Assess-ments also underpinned our work in this area.

‘Be the Change’, our new global public awareness cam-paign around citizen action and civic space launched in early 2014. Be the Change seeks to inspire and celebrate citizen action, thereby raising awareness about civic space, the importance of it and our need to protect it. As part of this campaign, on 7th June 2014, we held a Global Day of Citizen Action, engaging more than 20,000 actors across 46 events in 25 countries.

Legitimacy, Transparency and Accountability

CIVICUS supports a variety of communities of practice, or groups of civil society actors who share a common interest, through in-formation and knowledge exchanges that allow members to learn from each other and develop professionally. Among the most vibrant of these communities of practice are practitioners working on issues of Legitimacy, Transparency and Accountability. A new ‘Guide to Self-Regulation,’ published by CIVICUS and our partners in the last year, uses a range of interviews, expert contributions and case studies to explore how to set up, join and maintain a self-regulation initiative.

Promoting citizen par-ticipation and a vibrant civic space2

Our work in this area is focused especially around marginalised groups and in countries where CIVICUS can

have most impact.

13

Democratising the international arena3 Our work in this area aims to ensure that civil society, from the local to

the global, can play a meaningful part in global governance debates and decision-making processes.

Post Rio to Post 2015

As part of our continuing involvement in sustainable development processes and dialogues, in late 2013, CIVICUS joined forces with Stakeholder Forum and the United Nations Department of Econom-ic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) for a two-year project designed to facilitate engagement opportunities for civil socie-ty with member states and UN bodies on the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals. As part of this initiative, CIVICUS has already supported twelve civil soci-

Engaging with intergov-ernmental institutions

CIVICUS co-organised six side events to accompany sessions of the UN Human Rights Council, exploring civil society restrictions in Ethiopia, the Gulf Re-gion and globally. We also took part in high-level meetings on mechanisms of the UN Human Rights Council as a way to justice, on envisioning a new paradigm for civil society in the 21st century and on freedom of assembly and association at the multilateral level. A contribution was made to a report on fiscal and tax policy, poverty and human rights, compiled by the UN Special Rap-porteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights.

At the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights in Luanda, Angola, we raised pressing threats to human rights defenders, journalists and civil society activists on the continent and submitted an oral statement outlining recommendations for creating a more enabling environment for civil society. Side events highlighting threats to civil society and human rights defenders were also held at the annual meetings of the World Bank and IMF.

A new Scorecard

As part of the 2014 State of Civil Society Report, CIVICUS piloted its first Intergov-ernmental Organisation (IGO) Scorecard. Based on input from more than 450 civil society organisations, the Score-card assessed the level of civil society engagement in a select group of IGOs. The aim of this initiative is to interrogate the key stumbling blocks to sustainable civil society engagement in international governance mechanisms and to identify ways of improving the state of democra-cy in the international arena.

ety actors to participate in national ad-vocacy aimed at shaping the post-2015 agenda, as well as facilitating a number of events at the UN in New York.

In January 2014, CIVICUS commenced a scoping exercise to explore how civil society could harness the power of new information technologies and innovative forms of citizen reporting to produce a people-powered, open source mecha-nism for monitoring progress towards post-2015 development goals. In 2014/15, the Big Development DataShift - as the project is called - will focus on implementing activities that will increase the coverage of citizen reporting across issues and countries, enhance the com-parability of citizen-generated data, and strengthen the evidence base for civil society campaigns.

Two consultations with more than 135 civil society actors in early 2014 also led to the establishment of the Action/2015 campaign. This initiative aims to use post-2015 processes to inspire collec-tive action, from all sectors of society, to tackle the root causes of inequality, injustice, poverty and climate change.

14

Connecting civil society actors 4 We aim to connect civil society actors in creative and effective ways in

order to generate change. We also work with our partners to explore and propose new models of cooperation for the future.

Affinity Group of National Associations

The CIVICUS Affinity Group of National Associations (AGNA) was established in 2004 to enable representatives of na-tional umbrella organisations to share in-formation and best practices and engage in learning exchanges aimed at strength-ening national associations and their members. In the last year, AGNA, which currently includes 66 national associa-tions, provided numerous opportunities to its members, including workshops on post-2015 advocacy, self-regulation mechanisms, governance and accounta-bility and media training.

AGNA encouraged networking and knowledge-sharing through regional and thematic peer learning meetings and organised solidarity actions in support of several members under threat, including those from Zambia, Venezuela and Ni-geria. Learning from its experience and adapting to its changing environment, AGNA has also improved its sustaina-bility by further diversifying its funding sources.

A New Social Contract

Many CIVICUS members and stake-holders report multiple difficulties in their attempts to interact with and influence other groups and forces in society. At the global level, they tell us that multilateral institutions do not make adequate provisions to listen to and take civil society seriously. At the national level, many CSOs report in-creasing restrictions from governments and other forces, and at the same time, the world has recently seen the emergence of a new wave of protest movements that clearly articulate a sense of acute dissatisfaction amongst many people with the arrangements that govern their lives. In response, CI-VICUS convened a series of `dialogues’ about the understandings and systems that underpin the relationships be-tween different forces in society, also known as `social contracts’. Between July and December 2013, we revised our methodology and launched a call for expressions of interest in hosting national, multi-stakeholder dialogues to re-examine this concept. We re-ceived nearly 1000 applications from 120 countries, which resulted in seven dialogues being held.

The New Social Contract forms part of the Civic Space Initiative (see page 12).

International Civil Society Week

As a recognised global convenor on civil society issues, CIVICUS seeks to contin-ually evolve and develop its convening models to best suit current demands and constraints. In 2013, CIVICUS began to improve synergies between the CIVICUS World Assembly and the events of part-ners, by marketing these under a single name, International Civil Society Week. Leveraging the resources of existing partner initiatives, this model brings greater impact and cost-efficiency and enables CIVICUS to reach beyond its own members and partners to include new civil society actors.

Taking place in Johannesburg, South Africa in November 2013, International Civil Society week convened more than 300 civil society actors from around the world. Two major global civil society conferences at the heart of the week were hosted for the first time outside of Europe: Building a Global Citizens Movement, convened by CONCORD/DEEEP, and the International Civil Society Centre’s annual Global Perspectives 2013. In the wings of these two impor-tant conferences, CIVICUS organised a series of workshops and meetings, as well as public events.

Generating and com-municating knowledge and analysis 5

Our work in this area focuses on mapping the changing state of civil society around the world and monitoring

emerging trends.

Civil Society Index – Rapid Assessment

Following the piloting of our Civil Society Index – Rapid Assessment (CSI-RA) in Benin, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal, assessment reports and action plans were published in early 2014. Designed to be more flexible and adaptable than the Civil Society Index (implemented in a total of 75 countries worldwide), the CSI-RA enabled our country partners to choose different areas of assessment depending on their needs and priorities. Our six country reports focus on subjects ranging from information sharing and communication to financial and fundraising capacity.

We have now established new partner-ships to implement the CSI-RA in Austria and Armenia.

2014 State of Civil Society Report

The 2014 edition of CIVICUS’ flagship report focused on civil society’s relation-ship to global governance. It drew on contributions from more than thirty of the world’s leading experts on civil soci-ety as well as input from our members, partners and other stakeholders in the global CIVICUS alliance. Presenting suc-cess stories and challenges, the report offers an important advocacy tool for civil society organisations and activists seeking to defend and strengthen civic space. For those wishing to improve their understanding of civil society, in-cluding governments, donors and those

An Enabling Environment for Civil Society

As part of a growing recognition of the role of the enabling environment in strengthening development ef-fectiveness and democracy, CIVICUS has worked to develop new tools for assessing and deepening understanding of this area. In September 2013, we published an Enabling Environment In-dex (EEI) discussion paper and revised a composite index ranking 109 countries on the socio-economic, socio-cultural and governance factors that affect civic space. Following the launch of this pilot Index and a consultative process, CIVI-CUS commissioned the One World Trust

working in the private sector, academia or media, the report is intended to represent a valuable resource.

The 2014 report also contains the find-ings of a pilot project, which assesses how well intergovernmental organisa-tions engage civil society (see Priority 3 on page 13).

to review the methodology and to offer suggestions as to what a new toolkit for measuring the health of civil society might look like.

The resulting Enabling Environment Na-tional Assessment toolkit was piloted in Bolivia, Cambodia and Zambia in part-nership with the International Centre for Not-for-Profit Law. Following further adjustments to the methodology, na-tional civil society organisations in Bur-kina Faso, Lebanon, Mexico, India and Uganda employed the toolkit as part of their Enabling Environment National As-sessments. In addition, CIVICUS invited applicants from the Asia-Pacific region to submit proposals for research on the enabling environment for civil society, which resulted in research papers from local partners in the Solomon Islands, the Philippines and Myanmar/Burma
