GlobeScan / UIA survey of international associations

In 2007-2009, the UIA partnered with opinion researchers at GlobeScan on a survey of global civil society. The survey was designed to tap civil society organizations' expertise and perceptions on major global issues, as well as views of civil society's role and impact in the world. There was also an opportunity to vote for the International Civil Society Organization of the Year. Results of this survey were distributed to participating organizations in 2009.

This project was launched in UIA's 100th year in tribute to Paul Otlet, one of our founders. He was a pioneer in seeking international dialogue, and we see this survey as keeping alive his spirit of giving voice to civil society in a world still driven by strong commercial and political forces. Providing a process to discover and disseminate the voice of civil society has been a dream of ours for some years now.
