UN Survey on the Impact of the Global Crises

The Civil Society and Outreach Unit of the United Nations Secretariat's Division for Social Policy and Development invites your organization to take part in a survey on the current situation that local, national and international civil society organizations (CSOs) are facing as a result of the global economic and environmental crises. The results of the study will be published for advocacy use of CSOs and also made available at the next session of the UN Commission on Social Development. Answers to all questions will be kept totally confidential, in particular as questions are included on how the crises have impacted the resources available for programmes.
