Thank you for taking the time to participate in FRA’s 2020 consultation on the experiences of civil society organisations (CSOs). This online survey will be open from 9 December 2020 – 20 January 2021. The results will feed into FRA’s work to improve the situation for human rights civil society organisations in the EU.

You are invited to share your views and experiences, as regards:

• The overall situation
• The impact of the regulatory environment in which you work
• Threats and attacks related to your work
• Access to finance and resources
• Access to and participation in decision-making processes

The consultation includes a few background questions about your organisation.

Each organisation should complete the questionnaire only once. It should take you approximately 15-20 minutes to complete it. Your answers are fully anonymous and cannot be traced back to you. The survey tool allows you to save your survey at any time, and continue filling it at a later moment. For more information, please contact us at frp@fra.europa.eu

We thank you in advance for your time and input.
