Welcome to Center for Civil Society Strengthening

Championing Equality, Driving Change

At the Center for Civil Society Strengthening (CCSS), we offer a transformative perspective that recognizes the potential of local civil society organizations (CSOs). We reject the notion that these organizations and their settings are problems needing external answers. Instead, we aim to empower CSOs to implement human-centered approaches that integrate extremely vulnerable populations into mainstream development efforts. Our mission is to create sustainable, community-driven development that truly meets the needs of all citizens.
