“Donors should allow civil society to define the priority areas of support” – Effective Donor Responses to the Challenge of Closing Civic Space (ICNL, 2018)

May 14, 2018

Civil society and the ability to exercise civic freedoms – the freedoms of association, expression, and peaceful assembly – have been under threat for many years.
