On the occasion of the Arab Day of Civil Society Organisations, observed annually on 27 December, the General Secretariat of the League of Arab States reaffirms its commitment to strengthening the role of civil society institutions in advancing development efforts across Arab countries. It underscores its dedication to supporting their achievements and fostering the innovative initiatives they propose, which contribute to bridging the divide between the government, civil, and private sectors. This is achieved through the adoption of a genuine participatory approach that embodies the principles of shared responsibility, while promoting the values of citizenship, volunteerism, public service, and humanitarian responsiveness.
