FRA will contribute to a webinar by the Open Government Partnership (OGP) on solutions to a decade of civic space backtracking. The panel discussion will provide an overview of the current state of civil society in Europe.

It will identify some of the key drivers for the increasing pressures on civic space, while highlighting possible ways forward. 

It will provide examples of ‘bright spots’ - policies and actions being taken by the EU and national governments to address some of the key challenges. These include the EU Civil Society Strategy and examples of OGP commitments in national action plans, as well as wider civic space / civil society strategies in member countries. 

OGP will also present its new Civic Space Lab
