CDB

This CDB Special Issue features one new article and ten articles from the CDB archives on the subject of Chinese NGOs working overseas.

This issue features twelve articles that CDB has published over the past few years. We have collected them here so that they can provide a useful resource and reach new readers in the anniversary year of the 1995 Beijing UN Women’s Conference

The organizations included in this brochure are nonprofit NGOs based throughout mainland China. They seek to address issues in a variety of sectors, including children, community development, environment, gender, legal aid, migrant issues, public health and disabilities.

This Issue includes articles on Chinese philanthropy, the Chinese women's rights movement and Volunteering in Sichuan.

This report is not an academic study in the strict sense of the word, but rather uses selected case studies to make observations about the development of public advocacy in China over the last few years.

The purpose of this report is to provide an overview and analysis of the grassroots, public interest NGOs covered in this Directory, and recommendations on how to support these NGOs. 

The report provides a detailed discussion of (1) the policy environment for international NGOs working in China; (2) the roles international NGOs play in shaping policy preferences and promoting participatory approaches in China; and (3) the limits and challenges facing international NGOs.
