Abstract
This study aims to provide the Ministry
of Civil Affairs (MoCA) of the People's Republic of
China an overview of international experience with the use
of direct and indirect, consumer and producer side
instruments for engaging civil society organizations in the
delivery of government-financed social and human services.
The discussion in the report falls into three major parts.
Part one offers an overview of the scale of the civil
society sector globally and of the extent and patterns of
government support for it. Against this backdrop, part two
then examines in more detail the experience of particular
countries with government-nonprofit cooperation with respect
to outsourcing social services. Finally, based on these
experiences, the final part offers some suggestions for the
Government of China as it seeks to fashion a workable
relationship with the emerging Chinese civil society
organization (CSO) sector.
