This indicator will be measured through a regional survey administered by the Fund Operator leading the regional civil society initiative. The survey will be conducted among CSO participants at the end of the CSF programme.

Baseline data is not applicable (N/A) since this indicator assesses the potential sustainability of regional cooperation after the initiative has taken place.

The survey will include the following question: "Have you made plans to continue your regional collaboration/partnership following the regional civil society initiative?"

Participants will respond with "YES" or "NO." Definition of Continued Partnership: A “YES” response indicates that the participant and their partners have discussed and agreed on future collaboration beyond the programme. This could involve: new joint initiatives, extended cooperation, and other forms of ongoing engagement. The question should be customised based on the specific title of the initiative.

Eligible respondents and counting method: This question will be asked to all CSO participants in the regional civil society initiative.
