Support Models for CSOs at Country Level - Synthesis Report

Norad, on behalf of Nordic+ donors Canada, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and the UK, contracted Scanteam to review the experiences in six countries of different models for donor support to civil society. The study shall contribute to the development of a strategic policy framework for Nordic+ support to a vibrant, pluralistic and democratic civil society. It is to (i) review possibilities for improving direct support to NGOs/CSOs through country level support models; (ii) shed light on constraints and possibilities of different types of support models, and (iii) increase outreach to a wider range of civil society organisations and reduce transaction costs.
