Civil Society Mapping Survey

Dear Listers,

As part of the Civil Society Alliances for Digital Empowerment (CADE)
<cadeproject.org/cade-mission/> project co-funded by the European
Union, Expectation State <expectationstate.com/> has been
commissioned to conduct *a comprehensive mapping and baseline study on
civil society organisations engagement in multilateral and
multi-stakeholder Internet Governance processes.*

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 aims to address this issue by identifying and
documenting existing, emerging, and cross-cutting issues and gaps in CSO
engagement across key Internet Governance (IG) forums. It will delve into
the challenges and opportunities CSOs face in these processes, focusing on
capacity strengthening needs and on the top policy asks from civil society.

The data gathered will be used to develop actionable recommendations and
share best practices, with the objective of enhancing CSO participation in
IG.

*The online survey is estimated to last 15 – 20 minutes.* The completion of
the online survey is entirely voluntary. There are no right or wrong
answers; you can refuse to answer any question and terminate the survey at
any time. The online survey does not collect personally identifiable
information (PII) and will not ask personal questions. Your responses will
be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
