(MODULE QUARTER 2 WEEK 11 – CIVIL SOCIETY AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
Based on the Most Essential learning Competencies (MELCS)
The Civil society organizations can provide both immediate relief and longer-term transformative change – by
defending collective interests and increasing accountability; providing solidarity mechanisms and promoting
participation; influencing decision making; directly engaging in service delivery; and challenging prejudice. In
this way, excluded groups can be effective drivers of their own change by forming or participating in
organisations that represent group interests. CSOs also play an important role in conducting research to raise the
profile of excluded groups.
However, these activities can be constrained by institutional factors, such as the type of regime they are
operating in, the level of decentralisation of state institutions and various other aspects of governance. New
research is recognizing the importance of building alliances and platforms across the state and civil society, to
connect champions of change.
Case studies have shown that social movements can act as the first steps towards developing a sense of selfidentity and citizenship, which does not necessarily emerge initially through engagement with the state. They
allow individuals to turn grievances into a sense of collective injustice, and then action. A sense of citizenship
normally starts with people’s own agendas – they create a political identity around a matter that immediately
affects their lives. Group membership amongst those who are marginalized and the sense of dignity and
solidarity that comes with this can stimulate people to aspire as a precursor to political engagement.
