Participate in Our Survey: Strengthening Civil Society Engagement in Internet Governance

Dear Listers,

As part of the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment (CADE)
project <cadeproject.org/> co-funded by the European Union, we are
conducting a comprehensive mapping and baseline study on civil society
organisations’ engagement in multilateral and multistakeholder internet
governance processes.

Civil society organisations (CSOs), especially those from the Global
South/Global Majority, continue to be under-represented in these essential
discussions. This lack of representation and meaningful engagement hurts
civil society’s ability to advocate for critical issues such as human
rights, accessibility, inclusion, and gender equality in the digital realm.

The baseline survey addresses this issue by identifying and documenting
existing, emerging, and cross-cutting issues and gaps in CSO engagement
across key internet governance forums. It will delve into the challenges
and opportunities CSOs face in these processes, focusing on
capacity-strengthening needs and the top policy requests from civil
society.

We are gathering views and experiences through a comprehensive survey
<iyvkyxaur7h.typeform.com/to/vqoaVR5N>. The responses gathered will
be used to develop actionable recommendations and share best practices to
enhance CSO participation. They will be presented at this year’s Internet
Governance Forum
<intgovforum.org/en/content/igf-2024-ws-266-empowering-civil-society-bridging-gaps-in-policy-influence>
.

Deadline: 14 October 2024
The online survey is estimated to last 10–15 minutes.
