An Enabling Arab Civic Space for Resilience, Growth and Sustainability
This report aims to shed light on these issues by mapping changes in the enabling environment in a pandemic context and their effects on organizational-level practices through a lens of resilience, growth and sustainability of civil society by focusing on four Arab countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine. It does not cover the full range of civil society, but focuses on non-governmental organisations, including associations, community-based organisations, charitable and faith-based organisations and foundations. It departs from existing studies by taking a prescriptive approach that highlights and analyses key changes in policies, laws and infrastructure influencing CSOs, to identify sector gaps, priorities and areas of action for collective advocacy by the sector for an enabling environment.
