AICS Certification Program
AICS’ flagship certification program aims to raise the effectiveness and credibility of the civil society sector by certifying CSOs against locally defined and internationally recognized standards. From an organizational perspective, civil society can be defined as the associational life in a society where people are organized in voluntary groups.
