Past Event

Rethinking Civil Society Sustainability

Tuesday, February 20, 2018 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters

Please join the Human Rights Initiative for a discussion about civil society resiliency and sustainability. The current phenomenon of closing civic space prompts civil society actors to explore alternative programmatic and funding models and approaches to sustain their work. It also urges donors to find ways that mutually respond to the challenges confronted by civil society organizations and to their funding priorities. During this event, experts will discuss adaptability challenges both donors and civil society organizations face within restrictive environments, and how best to address them. Panelists will also present on recent reports published through the International Consortium on Closing Civic Space.

This event is made possible by support from the Oak Foundation and the Mott Foundation.
