SUMMARY:Launch of the Report “CSO Sustainability Index in Thailand”
DESCRIPTION:In Thailand\, like also in other countries in the region\, the role of CSOs has been crucial in the cycle of addressing various social concerns\, ranging from human rights violation to ensuring the well-being of the vulnerable sectors in the society. However\, due to current shrinking civic space and rising tension of unfavorable laws\, the challenges in securing funds amongst CSOs to sustain their activities in the long-run have become much more visible.  Hence\, it is vital to come up with the solutions to guarantee CSOs’ sustainability.  \nOn 3 December at 6 PM\, the report CSO Sustainability Index Report will be launched at SEA Junction.
