In this report, I define civil society as consisting of community-based organizations, traditional leaders, implementing NGOs, unions, business associations, religious organizations, independent media, student groups, co-operatives, and other associational groups. Civil society's role in decentralised and democratic governance has four major functions:
-Representing and advocating for the diversity of community interests
-Delivering services in education, health and other social sectors
-Partnering with government in development planning and promoting understanding of decentralisation
-Acting as a watchdog over government
The Institute has a resource centre that is open to civil society actors in the region. It serves as a library of civil society documents, research reports and edited volumes that are accessible to both individuals and organisations. The Institute has partnered the Foundation Centre to provide online learning resources and a database of grant giving institutions in the United States of America.
