A Civil Society in Transition: CIVICUS Civil Society Index Report for Fiji
Fiji Council of Social Services (FCOSS) was the CSI country partner for
the CSI project in Fiji.
The Civil Society has a structure that is moderately strong and there are some
signs of strengthening as CSOs begin to forge alliances and joint activities
over common areas of interests. In regard to the environment dimension, civil
society is moderately autonomous, has fair processes of dialogue with the
state, benefits from fair taxation laws and recognised civil liberties.
Although there is a strong commitment to assist those in need, corruption
remains one of the challenges in the values that civil society experiences.
This however, does not affect its impact which reflects effective
participation of civil society in influencing public policies, in responding to
social interests, in meeting social needs and in empowering citizens.
