A well functioning and energetic civil society is an important asset in any country looking to balance the imperatives of growth with social concerns. ICICI Foundation will work with CSO Partners to facilitate strategic partnerships between civil society organisations and experienced service providers in areas including organizational governance, human resources, communications, legal aid and accounting, volunteering and financial management. With the help of these "partners," CSO Partners hopes to bring a variety of "contributors" (donors, volunteers, board members, individuals, corporates) closer to its "clients", the CSOs/ NGOs.
