Civil society is often defined as the aggregate of non-governmental organizations and institutions that manifest interests and the will of citizens. It is recognized globally that these civil society organizations (CSOs) are instrumental in combating poverty and improving livelihoods of poor people. CSOs’ scope of work is broad and diverse including raising awareness, promoting human rights, protecting the environment and building local capacities. Given their experience working at the grass-root level, the engagement of CSOs in policy making is critical to ensure relevance, effectiveness and sustainability of those policies.
