“…Although there is no easy definition of the concept in the global arena, due to differences in forms of social organization, culture and political tradition, civil society is commonly referred to as a collection of social relations that exist at the interface between the state and private sector (Rubalcaba Medina, 2017). Much contemporary democratic theory rests on the claim that functioning democracies require a "civil society" network of nongovernmental organizations that allows men and women to both discuss their common interests and form organizations that can pressure the state on the basis of those interests (Riley & Fernández, 2014).…”

Corruption as a phenomenon has attracted significant interest from researchers who mostly focus on the causes and underlying effects of corruption at the national and societal levels. Many interventions have also been designed to reduce corruption to a bare minimum but there is a dearth of literature looking at citizen’s intervention to address the problem. This study examined the attitudes of citizens towards corruption by looking at the factors that influence citizen’s willingness to report and confront corruption in Uganda. Drawing on data collected from the survey of 251 citizens in Uganda, this research found that corruption tolerance by citizens is low, but the willingness of participation in anti-corruption campaigns is not correspondingly high. However, low corruption tolerance alone does not explain why people don’t report corruption. Awareness of corruption and trust in government’s and civil society anti-corruption efforts and laws was also identified as a major influence to citizen’s willingness to confront and report corruption. In addition, higher confidence in the government’s anti-corruption strategies and laws leads to lower corruption tolerance and stronger willingness to confront and report corruption. The study suggests that a successful campaign of anticorruption must involve enhancing understanding of what constitutes corruption and building confidence in the Government’s strategy on anticorruption.

Over the years, civil society organizations (CSOs) have made tremendous efforts to ensure that state policies, programmes, and actions facilitate equitable access to healthcare. While CSOs are key actors in the realization of the right to health, a systematic understanding of how CSOs achieve policy change is lacking. Implementation science, a discipline focused on the methods and strategies facilitating the uptake of evidence-based practice and research can bring relevant, untapped methodologies to understand how CSOs drive health reforms. This article argues for the use of evidence-based strategies to enhance civil society action. We hold that implementation science can offer an actionable frame to aid CSOs in deciphering the mechanisms and conditions in which to pursue rights-based actions most effectively. More empirical studies are needed to generate evidence and CSOs have already indicated the need for more data-driven solutions to empower activists to hold policymakers to account. Although implementation science may not resolve all the challenges CSOs face, its frameworks and approaches can provide an innovative way for organizations to chart out a course for reform.
