Nongovernment Organizations and Civil Society

The Open Society Forum is supporting the Mongolian NGOs Online Network*, a one stop website on Mongolian NGOs that aims to increase public awareness on the contribution of NGOs in social development and facilitate information sharing.

CIVICUS*: World Alliance for Citizen Participation is an international network that helps strengthen citizen action and civil society. CIVICUS provides a focal point for knowledge-sharing, common interest representation, global institution-building and engagement among civil society. The alliance published the 2004-2005 State of Civil Society in Mongolia* [ PDF ], a civil society index (CSI) on the state of civil society in the country. The CSI was conducted by Mongolian civil society activists using a variety of methods and data sources.
