Resilience support for CSOs in the WANA region
For free (plus shipping costs)
The West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region has witnessed significant challenges to civil society organizations (CSOs) over the past decade. The aftermath of the Arab Uprisings in 2011, coupled with rising authoritarianism and political violence, has led to a significant shrinking of civic space. CSOs working on human rights and migrants’ rights have been particularly affected due to their focus on politically sensitive issues. This study examines the threats faced by CSOs in Tunisia, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt and Lebanon, explores their adaptation strategies, and distils best practices to enhance their resilience.
