External Evaluation Results (2016) (Review Period: January 2013-June 2016) Purpose of Evaluation Recommendations Develop a more proactive agenda to forward the vision. Develop a global-regional-national-focus balance strategy with clearly articulated rationales. Develop a membership engagement strategy. Explore new operational models. Develop a framework for prioritising. Provide an external evaluation perspective on what was accomplished during current strategic period (2013-2017), and inform the next round of strategic planning
Membership Survey Results (2016) End June to mid September 2016, 228 answers (including more than 60 voting members) Positive Negative Impact Recommendations Initiatives like the Global Day of Citizen Action, solidarity campaigns, and research products (CIVICUS Monitor, State of Civil Society Report) are valued. Member communications, and especially the use of multiple languages, need improvement. CIVICUS is having an impact with research/data on civic space, global campaigns and Global South s positioning, especially on funding for civil society. CIVICUS should offer more capacity- building opportunities, enhance networking at the regional level and provide more small funding for small NGOs.
