Guidance of Management and Fund Mobilization in Association with the Participation of Civil Society

Abstract

The study on the “Guidance of management and fund mobilization in association with the participation of civil society” had objectives to study the guidelines in promoting and supporting the participation of civil society for the social development using the fund as the main mechanism; to investigate the guidance of fund mobilization in association with the participation of civil society; and to study the innovation for the guidance of fund development. The research team has collected the data by using two methods as follows: (1) compilation of documents and (2) field data collection using the in-depth interviews, focus group discussions and seminars.
Results indicated that all funds paid importance to the fund mobilization with the participation of civil society; for instance, the committee comprised the representatives from various sectors so that the civil society and the governmental departments could participate in and request for supports in relating to budgets allocated for projects /activities. However, the levels of intensity of such fund mobilization might be different. Regarding to the budgets and fund mobilization, it could be noted that all funds encountered the insufficient and uncertain allocation of budgets each year. In addition, the financial sources stated in the fund acts were still not used fully resulting in the uncertain budgets. Anyhow, to solve the uncertain budget allocation, various activities were conducted for the fund mobilization with all sectors. In term of the innovation, many funds have tried to develop their projects/activities including their work procedures in accord with the changed situation.
