dc.description.abstract | This article reviews the notion of civil society by raising pertinent issues, successes and drawbacks. Often referred to as the space where we act for common good, civil society aims to connect poor or marginalized people with groups that can mobilize support to help. We know that civil society by itself cannot achieve poverty eradication. It must act in partnership with governments and institutions but it must be one of the partners and not just a servant to carry out the designs of governments or corporations. Therefore there is need to expand the role of NGOs and civil society organizations in three main specific areas related to poverty eradication: technical, financial and political and enhancing the participation of those whose lives are affected by decisions and this can only happen when there is an enabling environment designed to promote popular participation. The contributions of civil society in global environmental preservation cannot be ignored since it is a cross cutting issue and both national and international governments need other actors to make it a reality. In short, there has been increasing support for civil society as understanding has grown about the important role that CSOs can play in bringing about development goals. The Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Summit Outcome Document emphasize the relationship between sustainable human development and democratic governance and the need for civil society engagement to foster both. | en_US |
