Civil society plays a vital role in strengthening democracy, promoting social justice, and ensuring accountable governance. It comprises non-governmental organizations, community groups, trade unions, professional associations, and voluntary organizations that operate independently of the state and the market. Civil society acts as a bridge between citizens and the government by voicing public concerns, advocating for human rights, and encouraging citizen participation in decision-making processes. It contributes to social development through service delivery, awareness creation, and empowerment of marginalized groups. Moreover, civil society promotes transparency by monitoring government actions, combating corruption, and fostering a culture of dialogue and cooperation. In an era of globalization and complex governance challenges, a vibrant civil society is essential for inclusive development, democratic stability, and the protection of fundamental freedoms.
