7amleh - The Arab Center for the Advancement of Social Media presents this instigative study, The Palestinian Public’s Perception of Palestinian CSOs. To map this perception, the study wielded a set of indicators—including the Palestinian public’s expectations of and satisfaction with Palestinian civil society organizations (CSOs). The indicators were measured with three tools: polls, focus groups, and individual interviews. In addition to analyzing collected data and information, the study reviews the corpus of literature on Palestinian CSOs. The study was carried out between July and September 2021 and was informed by the inputs and insights of a poll completed by 1,203 people, focus groups consisting of 58 people, and five individual interviews. The sample of the study represented historic Palestine, i.e., the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, East Jerusalem, and Israel.
