In recent years, globalisation has seen global civil society institutions at different levels getting involved in politics of nation states. Observance of human rights, good governance and the upholding of democratic principles have been areas of emphasis by global civil society where nations of the world have made concerted efforts to uphold these.

Global, regional and national civil society groups have been instrumental in calling for improved citizen participation in governance processes and repealing some sections of existing legislation guiding citizen participation.
