CSO Sustainability Index for Sub-Saharan Africa
Civil society organizations (CSOs) - including human rights and women's groups, trade unions, faith-based organizations, and other advocacy groups - have been the driving force behind efforts to promote democracy. They have also been the main bulwarks against backsliding, which threatens participatory democracy, increases corruption, daunts economic growth, and opens opportunities for anti-American extremist ideologies. Africa Regional aims to strengthen the capabilities of indigenous African CSOs to become effective, accountable, and sustainable in their efforts to promote reforms. The CSO Sustainability Index (CSOSI) for Africa provides a set of clear metrics for CSO capacity and sustainability for use by Missions, Bureaus, and USAID's development partners. Africa Regional will contribute funding to this multi-year research effort managed by DCHA/DRG such that coverage continues for the Indexes.
