The Dynamics of Changes in the State and Needs of CSOs in Belarus from 2020 to 2024. The 6th part of the monitoring was published

The period from 2020 to 2024 has been extremely challenging and arguably the most dramatic in the relatively short history of civil society in Belarus. Civil society organizations (CSOs) faced various forms of repression, and the vast majority were ultimately shut down within the country. Many relocated abroad, where they managed to stabilize and continue their activities in some form, while a few organizations found ways to carry on their work inside Belarus. This general description applies to the third sector as a whole; however, the period has not been uniform. CSOs experienced different phases, progressing at different speeds and not always following the same path.

In the sixth monitoring report, while examining the state and needs of CSOs during this period, we tracked the dynamics of changes in the main external and internal challenges organizations faced, as well as the evolving responses to these challenges, based on existing research.
