The CSO Meter monitors the environment in which civil society organisations (CSOs) operate in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries.

It provides essential data and analysis on the laws and practice affecting CSOs, which allows the civil society sector and the EU to identify priorities for legal reforms needed.

The project aims to contribute to the objectives laid down in the Civil Society Facility for Inclusive and Resilient societies. More precisely, it aims to strengthen the capacities of local CSOs and think tanks, to meaningfully engage in policy making and dialogue, promote open civic space and serve local communities.

The overall objective is to promote enabling environment for civil society in the Eastern Partnership countries.
