Civil Society Organisations' attitude and activity analysis

The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the key features, activities and attitudes of the landscape of civil society organisations (CSOs) that are connected to refugee and migrant policy. The report draws on new data sets created by the PROTECT project and is novel in its consideration of CSOs that exhibit a full range of attitudes towards refugees and migrants. This reflects a key theme of PROTECT, namely the need to understand the provision of international protection in the round, be that through those that wish to advance and enhance that protection or through those who want to weaken or remove it altogether. By seeking to build a more complete map of CSOs that have a connection to protection issues, it is possible to better understand how these groups can play a role in the development of this arena. The report works with novel data sets that better capture the full spectrum of CSOs that act directly and indirectly on refugees and migrants.
