Shrinking spaces for civil society: A balancing act

The shrinking space for civil society has been a concern for a decade, but more recently, KOFF organizations and their partners are reporting a further reduction in their space. The COVID-19 pandemic, for example, and the resulting health restrictions to limit the spread of the virus, have been used as a pretext to further restrict civil liberties.

In increasingly autocratic states, development, humanitarian, human rights, and peacebuilding organizations face different risks and barriers depending on their core activities and the political environment in which they work. But the general pattern is quite unanimous: these organizations must balance overcoming restrictions and threats while – to the extent possible – continuing to carry out their activities and voice their demands.

From creating new spaces for civil society to defending and protecting existing ones, this issue of à propos gives you a glimpse of how KOFF organizations and their partners are surviving in hostile environments.

Our association is a no-profit, neutral, global network of Cultural Heritage volunteer stakeholders and experts worldwide who joined with the main objectives to contribute to the safeguarding of Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage and to develop an early detection system against the risks of destruction, vandalism, illicit trade, looting, pillaging before, during and after conflict. In other words, we try to contribute to foster the safeguarding of cultural Heritage according to the criteria set by the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict.
