Abstract
Efficiency and effectiveness is subject to best performance, however, it is impossible if there is ambiguity in conceptual framework, the target is not clearly fixed and the capacity is not sufficiently built. This is a general principle, which applies to both individuals and organizations irrespective of their belongingness, mandate and areas of operations. Civil society in general and its various formal and informal actors in particular must go through a detailed appraisal to gauge their capacities in comparison with their competitors such as public and private sector organizations including their current and future targets and challenges plus proclamation. This paper is a preliminary effort to examine civil society organizations while highlighting their internal weaknesses/ shortcomings along with the space that is available to it for smooth functioning. All possible efforts have been made to incorporate opinions of different stakeholders to ensure diversity and validity of data and information. Based on findings of various tools being implied such as survey, key informant interviews and focus group discussions weaknesses were identified which can be improved as they come under the control of civil society organization itself. Issues and challenges associated with socio-economic condition, geo-political situation and constitutional/ legal framework do require help and support from national and international forces toward its empowerment.
