Abstract
Democracy promotion has traditionally stressed the positive role of civil society in democratization; thus democracy assistance policies are aimed at strengthening the capacities of civil society organizations (CSOs) in democratic transitions and consolidation processes. Aid agencies have been supporting CSOs on the assumption that a strong and vibrant civil society plays a dual and mutually reinforcing positive role, with respect to democratic transitions and development processes. Most bilateral and multilateral democracy assistance suppliers and donor agencies – including the United Nations, the World Bank and bilateral donors – identify the strengthening of CSOs as a priority area of action within their aid policies aiming at supporting democracy, and also as a key strategy for participatory development.
