Civil society engagement


Civil society engagement

Civil society in developing countries can be a powerful agent for change. ODE has conducted an evaluation of AusAID's engagement with civil society, assessing how well AusAID is helping civil society in developing countries contribute to the development of effective states.
Working Beyond Government: Evaluation of AusAID’s engagement with civil society in developing countries recommends that Australia build on current strategic approaches for engaging with civil society, work with local systems and partners, and apply good practice in the design of individual programs. The evaluation also found that choosing appropriate intermediaries can help donors enhance sustainability, manage risk, reduce high transaction costs and take small activities to scale.
