External Evaluation Results (2016)

(Review Period: January 2013-June 2016)

Purpose of Evaluation Recommendations

Provide an external evaluation

perspective on what was

accomplished during current

strategic period (2013-2017),

and inform the next round of

strategic planning

• 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.

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.
