SamenvattingIn Hivos’ vision, strengthening civil society is at the core of social transformation. Over the last 15 years, Hivos has defined its strategy in this respect as ‘civil society building’ (CSB). ‘Building’, though, does not mean working towards a clearly-defined end situation, or following a single, standard ‘construction plan’, and also not imposing these methods and formats from outside. The main drive is to facilitate or enable endogenous processes of association among citizens in the South and linking and mobilising support for these processes at the global and national levels. The aim of this paper is to elaborate upon the general vision on CSB as described in Civil Voices, building on experiences, lessons learned and contextual changes over the last five years. The paper provides the main guiding principles for Hivos policy in this domain, without going into detail at the level of specific (sub-) programmes.
