FINANCING CIVIL-SOCIETY FOR A GLOBAL RESPONSIBILITY

The global civil society is exercising an increasingly important role in supporting innovative, democratic people-centred policy changes in global affairs. For the majority of people, solutions for poverty alleviation, the security of productive employment and livelihoods and for the restoration of the integrity of the environment are rooted in private or community-based initiatives, The establishment of an independent global Civil Society Development Fund, with a web of regional and local affiliates, can create the basis for an independent civil society which is able to seek its own solutions to global problems.
