dc.description.abstract | NORAD has commissioned this study as an input to analyzing governance issues
in Nicaragua. The report analyzes current civil society in Nicaragua as the product of
the developments over the last decades. The sphere is dominated by a set of highly visible,
professional and active NGOs – partly because of the strength of these organizations, partly
because of weaknesses of other types of organizations. Unions are fragmented, private sector
organizations tend to focus on sector demands, social movements are relatively non-existent,
and community-based organizations are oriented towards local concerns. While Nicaraguan
civil society remains politically polarized – although less so than 10-15 years ago – there are
relatively advanced examples of coordination among the organizations. State – civil society
relations are gradually changing as new spaces for consultations are being institutionalized
and the organizations are becoming more oriented towards lobbying. Still, there is considerable
way to go before these new spaces function according to intentions. The fact that civil
society is dominated by NGOs – which are not membership-based – means that issues of
representation and accountability pose a key challenge for Nicaraguan civil society. | nb_NO |
