Co‑ordinating Action for Civic Space

This toolkit offers practical guidance to adherents to the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Recommendation on Enabling Civil Society in Development Co-operation and Humanitarian Assistance. It helps them implement the Recommendation’s provisions pertaining to respecting, protecting and promoting civic space in partner countries. It focuses on how providers can co-ordinate –with civil society, within provider governments, among providers, and with international bodies and other development actors– to protect and promote civic space, while recognising the need to co-ordinate with partner-country governments throughout.
