Description: The increased focus on aid effectiveness has led to a growing interest in how to make the work of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) more effective. There is a growing demand for more knowledge on the results of CSO work beyond the achievement of individual organizations, towards the collective contribution of civil society to development. This evaluation was commissioned to gain a better understanding of how CSOs engage in policy dialogue, identify the enabling and disabling factors affecting the ability of CSOs to play an effective role in policy dialogue, and provide recommendations on how donors can best support them in their work.
Notes: The three countries covered by the evaluation are Bangladesh, Mozambique, and Uganda

Accompanying CD-ROM contains Synthesis report (in English), the Bangladesh country report (in English), and the Mozambique country report (in English and Portuguese) as well as additional annexes related to the country reports but not included in the printed version.
