The Challenge:

Achieving effective citizen impact on public policy

Associations, unions, co-operatives and other citizens’ organizations face great challenges in their efforts to shape public debate and influence government decision-making. Lacking the financial resources, personnel capacity and high level access enjoyed by the corporate world, the non-profit and voluntary sectors frequently struggle to have their voices heard by government. Yet the need for effective citizen impact on public policy has never been greater.

Civica’s Goal:

Maximizing the public influence of citizens’ organizations
