I cannot evaluate it
The State feels CSOs as rivals
The State recognizes the CSO sector as partners (uses their services)
The State supports development of CSO sector (provides funding...)
The State is uninterested and it underestimates the importance of the CSO sector
Attitude of the State towards the CSO sector is often evaluated as lack of interest (40%), but the same percentage believes that the State has a positive attitude towards CSOs, either by supporting their development (22%), or even by recognizing CSOs as partners (19%)
