The CSO Sustainability Index (CSOSI) for Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia provides a comprehensive assessment of the capacity of civil society to serve as both a short-term partner in implementing development solutions and a long-term actor in ensuring development outcomes are sustained. The CSOSI empowers local civil society to collectively assess not only the environment in which they are operating, but also their own capacities to advocate, operate sustainably and communicate with citizens.This year’s Index reports on the state of CSO sectors in twenty-four countries in the region, from the Baltics in the north to the Caucasus in the south, and the Visegrad countries in the west to Russia, which stretches east to the Pacific Ocean. It addresses both advances and setbacks in seven key components or “dimensions” of the sustainability of the civil society sector: legal environment, organizational capacity, financial viability, advocacy, service provision, sectoral infrastructure, and public image. The Index is intended to be a useful source of information for local CSOs, governments, donors, academics, and others who want to better understand and monitor key aspects of sustainability in the CSO sector.

Le volume intitulé Plaidoyer: Développement d’aptitudes pour les dirigeants d’ONG est le neuvième volume de la série des manuels de formation du CEDPA. Ce manuel est basé sur l’expérience qu’a acquise le CEDPA en développant les aptitudes dont ont besoin les dirigeants d’organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) pour promouvoir le changement dans le domaine de la santé reproductive. C’est une division du CEDPA, l’équipe de renforcement des capacités (Capacity Building Team), qui l’a mis au point, avec le soutien du Fonds des Nations Unies pour la Population (FNUAP). S’appuyant sur une méthode de formation participative, ce manuel présente les principes de base du plaidoyer sous la forme d’un atelier de trois jours.
