Local Empowerment, Global Impact

ICNL’s 2010-2011 Annual Report highlights our work to strengthen civil society, advance the freedoms of association and assembly, foster philanthropy, and enable public participation around the world. At the regional level, we launched an Arab Freedom of Association Network to share knowledge on civil society law. We also supported an Organization of American States resolution promoting the freedoms of assembly and of association in the Americas. At the national level, ICNL worked on projects encompassing nearly 100 countries, in nations as diverse as Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, India, Iraq, Malawi, Russia, Rwanda, and South Sudan. And to deepen the analytic basis for reform, we published over 80 country reports as well as papers on the freedom of assembly, the Arab Spring, and laws affecting global philanthropy.
