How to improve the CSO sector in C��te d'Ivoire

The power of civil society in terms of its influence on world politics is today tending to overturn the great principles that have been elevated to the rank of dogma in politics and international law such as the absolute sovereignty of the State. While in the countries of the North this notion which rhymes strongly with democracy enjoys almost absolute recognition by States in Africa and particularly in Côte d''Ivoire it''s worth taking a look at the lives of these new players who are trying to make their way in a space where debates are highly politicized. The CSO springtime that took place during the multiparty era in the 90s made a major contribution to the emergence of a more diversified civil society in the country. Unfortunately this dynamic seems to have stalled despite the fact that CSOs are expected to play an active role in the country''s democratic balance.
