The future of international development and humanitarian response must be through supporting locally-led action with local Civil Society Organisations at the centre.
Civil Society Now is an innovative web-based platform. It provides Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) with demand-driven and contextualized services to accompany them in unleashing their potential. With CSN, local CSOs can grow at their own pace and follow their own path.
CSN functions as a membership model where member CSOs gain access to web-based resources and hybrid events (in person and online) to strengthen their capacities in key areas and exchange knowledge with other local CSOs and with INGO People in Need (PIN). CSN benefits from PIN’s extensive internal resources, which have taken years to develop, and in-country capacities and experts for tailored, contextualized services.
Civil Society Now is currently active in six countries globally (across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Africa).
