Crisis Response Fund
In 2007 alone, CIVICUS documented and tracked threats to civil society in 85 countries. These countries joined scores of others that already have laws, policies and practices in place which stifle the work of civil society organisations. Donate to the CIVICUS Crisis Response Fund and become a civil society defender.
 On October 24th, CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation, the
International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) and United Nations
Volunteers (UNV) programme launched a
joint publication: "Volunteering and Social Activism: Pathways for
participation in human development." The paper explores how both volunteering and social activism are important strategies for fostering people's participation in social change and human development. It seeks to promote a shared understanding of how diverse forms of volunteerism contribute to the achievement of development objectives, and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in particular.
