USAID published the 23rd edition of their Civil Society Organization Sustainability Index (CSOSI) for Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia, covering developments in 24 countries in the region during 2019. In 2019, CSOs across Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia continued to be impacted by and respond to major political developments, including elections and changes in governments, political paralysis, and protests. Despite the turbulent political contexts, CSOs made notable advances in advocacy, service provision, and financial viability in several countries. At the same time, CSOs continued to be subject to negative rhetoric by government officials, politicians, and media outlets, often harming their public image. BCSDN has partnered with USAID and FHI 360 to produce the CSOSI for Macedonia 2019. Read more here.
