Description
The CIVICUS Monitor is an online platform, providing information on civic space - the respect, in law and in practice, of the fundamental freedoms of association, expression and peaceful assembly and the state’s duty to protect civil society – in 198 countries and territories. It also provides civic space ratings for each of the 198 countries and territories, calculated following an elaborate methodology.
The CIVICUS Monitor collaborates with over 20 regional research partners across the globe. Monitor updates for these countries and territories, outlining the latest civic space developments and restrictions, are published regularly.

For this, the consultant will :
- Conduct desktop research and interviews with our regional researchers and other relevant colleagues regarding digital restrictions and trends;
- Review the data incident form;
- Propose improvements to the data incident form, including how to capture and analyse digital trends and restrictions.

- a background in research methodologies, analytical tools;
- demonstrable quantitative data skills;
- expert knowledge of recent digital trends affecting civic space, such as disinformation, deep fakes, surveillance and Artificial Intelligence (AI);
- Knowledge of civil society and civic space trends
