The role of civil society in governance

• The important role of civil society was
  highlighted in the gTKP roundtable discussions.
• Civil society needs both data about roads and
  the skills to analyse this data.
• Must be realistic about what can be achieved
  through voluntary assistance!

11
The Dimensions of Civil Society

• What is civil society ?
• Wikipedia Civil society is composed of the
  totality of voluntary civic and social
  organizations and institutions that form the
  basis of a functioning society as opposed to the
  force-backed structures of a state (regardless of
  that state's political system) and commercial
  institutions.

12
Realistic Objectives

• Who will take responsibly for any actions?
• What resources will be available?
• Is there sufficient commitment enthusiasm?
