| Impact of Global Crises on Civil Society Organisations |
|
The evaluation of the responses to the survey shows that although some civil society organization (CSOs) have seen increased funding, overall the survey finds a worsening financial situation for CSOs in the period 2008-2009. As main reasons, CSOs explained that owing to the world economic crisis, grants from existing sources decreased. Most of the reductions have occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, several CSOs in Latin America and in some European countries reported a cut back in their budgets and programmes. The prospects for 2010 are not better. The revenue decline comes at the same time as demand for services is increasing, requiring more, not less, funding. The final report, a shorter executive summary and some case studies and are now available for download from NGO Committee for Social Development website here. |
In October 2009, IAMCR was invited to participate in a broad-based survey on the impact of the global crises on civil society organizations. The results of the survey are now available online.
