Abstract:
This study examines the barriers faced by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in promoting good governance in Bo City. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research employed both primary and secondary data collection tools to gather insights from stakeholders within the civil society landscape. The findings reveal that CSOs in Bo City encounter significant obstacles that hinder their effectiveness in promoting good governance. Key barriers identified include widespread corruption, which undermines trust and accountability; disunity among CSOs, leading to fragmented efforts and a lack of coherent advocacy; financial constraints that limit operational capacity; politicization of CSOs, which often aligns their agendas with political interests rather than community needs; and capacity gaps in skills and resources necessary for effective governance promotion. The study highlights that these barriers not only diminish the influence of CSOs but also adversely affect the broader governance landscape in Bo City. In response to these challenges, the research recommends targeted interventions such as the provision of training programs to enhance the skills of CSO personnel, thereby fostering greater effectiveness in advocacy and governance initiatives. Additionally, improving local revenue mobilization strategies is suggested to alleviate financial constraints, allowing CSOs to operate more independently and sustainably.
