Bolivia

From 2004 to 2006, the Civil Society Index was implemented in Bolivia by the Center for Peasants’ Research and Development (CIPCA) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), with the international coordination of CIVICUS. This implementation led to the publication of an analytical country report, presenting the results of the CSI initiative in the country.

Civil Society in Bolivia: From Mobilization to Impact

This report presents the main results of the Civil Society Index (CSI) Project in Bolivia, which was carried out by Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Bolivia and the Centro de Investigación y Promoción del Campesinado (CIPCA) between December 2004 and January 2006.

The resulting diamond depicts a rather well-balanced civil society in Bolivia which is very active in influencing public policy and participative in civil society activities particularly during times of social conflict. Likewise, the report highlights recommendations from stakeholders in addressing the weaknesses of the Bolivian civil society which includes building the capacity of CSO leaders and improving communication channels between CSOs and the state.
