2024 State of Civil Society Report

The 2024 State of Civil Society Report from CIVICUS, the global civil society alliance identifies 2023 trends in civil society action at different levels and arenas, from responses to conflicts and struggles for democracy, inclusion, and climate justice to demands for global governance reform.

The report draws from rolling analysis and commentary initiative, CIVICUS Lens, and is directly informed by the voices of civil society affected by and responding to the major issues and challenges of the day. It reflects over 250 interviews and articles published by CIVICUS covering over 100 countries and territories and offers a civil society perspective of the world as it stands in early 2024: one plagued by conflict and crises, including of democratic values and institutions, but in which civil society works to hold the line in difficult times.
