  CIVIL SOCIETY AND DEMOCRACY
Printer Friendly Version
Print this page

Democratic governance is characterised by the existence of a strong civil society that is able to both keep a check on government performance and input into policy and processes that will enhance good governance. Both the AU and SADC recognise the need for a strong civil society and for their participation in policy formulation and implementation. However, despite the enormous strides made by civil society they remain weak, challenged by both the lack of an enabling environment in many states, and by financial and human resource constraints. In addition, to give effect to the stated ideals of civil society participation in regional and national governance, concrete mechanisms need to be put in place. 

 

Some of the aims of the Southern African Human Security Programme at the ISS is to form partnerships with civil society organisations on issues related to peace and security, assist with strengthening civil society participation in governance issues through creating platforms for dialogue, and to produce policy oriented research that reflects the state of civil society in respective countries and their relationships with governments in the region.
