As the planet faces the Covid-19 emergency, we are all asked to act responsibly as individuals and as a community. We have to change our life to protect ourselves and others. Civil society is under great pressure but it is also playing a key role to provide a response.

The Civic Space Watch will give visibility to civil society’s actions and demands in the present crisis.
