There is a growing need and significance of development cooperation in India’s foreign policy and international engagement, especially in South-South Cooperation. This policy brief argues for greater institutional space for the serious involvement of non-government stakeholders; Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). It first lays down the policy rationale for civil society participation, then looks at options to involve CSOs and NGOs and concludes by recommending how the expertise of CSOs and NGOs could be tapped in managing and evaluating development cooperation projects and partnerships.
