Historique

The Civil Society of Guinea-Bissau is represented by about 164 organizations and networks inventoried at the central level. Numerous organizations operate on the ground and require a census in order to have a more complete picture of the dynamics of CSOs in the country. In terms of specializations, recent studies carried out by UNDP and the UNV Program account for a concentration of CSOs involved in defense, protection and promotion of Rights (about 1/3), followed by economic development, including issues of safety and food self-sufficiency, the environment and the development and/or diffusion of new technologies.

Civil society in Guinea-Bissau is becoming increasingly structured and there are more than a dozen networks (including platforms), among which are:

A national civil society movement for democracy and development;
A national youth and population forum;
A national youth council;
A national observatory on Human Rights, Democracy and Citizenship;
A foundation for children;
A network of Youth Associations of the Military District;
A national committee for the abandonment of nefarious practices;
A Gender Equality Observatory in Gabú
A national network of associations of people living with HIV;
A women's political platform (network of women's associations):

The emergence of CSOs and specialized networks on issues of governance and the rule of law comes in response to the void left by CSO representation in societal debates, political and strategic decision-making, the choosing of fundamental and durable options for the country, the follow-up/control of the responsibilities of the government and republican institutions, and the demands of payment of debts to citizens.
This project comes as a response to CSOs' demands to strengthen their capacities as tools for structuring the environments in which they operate and on developmental issues, as well as to help them develop their skills and positioning capacities when dealing with different approaches and strategic options for building/consolidating the rule of law and democratic governance, on management and on promoting the accountability of elected officials and those in charge of public administration.
