Through research and analysis we provide a knowledge-base to create good policies, laws and practices for CSOs.

We identify, synthetize and understand the trends and core issues that are key to creating good policies, laws and practices that affect civil society. We translate our expertise into accessible information and spreading this into our growing network of partners so that they have the knowledge and tools to create and defend their own spaces.
