Bangladesh
Overview
ICNL is a member of a USAID-funded consortium, led by Counterpart International, and called Promoting Advocacy and Rights (PAR). The goal of the PAR project is to strengthen the enabling environment for civil society and citizen participation in Bangladesh; and to empower civil society organizations (CSOs) to work in partnership with the Government of Bangladesh (GOB) to advance inclusive, transparent, and responsive governance. Under PAR, ICNL is focused primarily on enhancing the legal awareness of CSOs in Bangladesh.
Civic Freedom Monitor
Civil Society Organization Sustainability Index
The index, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development for twenty years, documents the development of civil society in seventy-one countries around the world, including Bangladesh. ICNL and FHI 360 work with local partners to produce the index annually.
