Civil society is a combination of organizations that are not associated or linked with the government, such as schools, professional associations, churches, advocacy groups, and cultural institutions. Civil society organizations are mainly known for holding governments accountable for their actions and inactions. They offer various social, economic, and political issues for governments, public and private sectors. Civil society organizations also provide services and basic products to the underserved and the poor. They also uphold social behavior and norms and defend citizens’ rights. Groups in civil society address narrow and broad issues at the national, local, or international level.  Some examples of civil society movements include the civil rights movement in the US and South Africa’s antiapartheid movement (Samuels, 2018).
