Civil society organizations (CSOs) have assumed a significant role in engaging and impacting the processes of both the State and businesses. They represent the voice of the people and their aspirations: providing channels for marginalized and weaker sections of society to assert their rights. CSOs have proven the significance of their position in society by creating waves in the processes of democracy, accountability, human rights, environmental sustainability, HIV/AIDS, poverty alleviation, amongst many others. In this light, CSOs too have a responsibility to transparently report on their activities thereby demonstrating accountability towards their stakeholders. Annual Reports are a key tool for disclosure and verification of an organization’s activities and accounts. They are also a tool which can be utilized by organizations as a means to effectively showcase their good work. CSO Partners’ Outstanding Annual Report Awards, organized jointly with Financial Management Service Foundation (FMSF), recognizes the need for a national movement towards better accountability and transparency practices. By appreciating the forerunners in the NGO sector, this initiative is generating a nation-wide effort towards more effective public disclosure practices. The awards are divided into three categories based on the annual budgets of CSOs:
Prizes There are 3 prizes under each category
