Objectives:

The three main objectives that inform our mission are:

Civic Existence - to promote the rights of citizens to organise and act collectively towards defined goals for the public good.

Civic Expression - to increase the effectiveness and improve the governance of civil society organisations, as well as their capacity to set and achieve their individual and collective goals.
Civic Engagement - to foster interaction between civil society and other institutions in order to increase the voice of citizens in public life.

CIVICUS' special purpose, therefore, is to help nurture the foundation, growth, protection and resourcing of citizen action throughout the world and especially in areas where participatory democracy, freedom of association of citizens and their funds for public benefit are threatened.
