Civil society, according to Ernest Geller, is a set of diverse non-governmental institutions strong enough to offset the state, which, while not preventing it from fulfilling its role as a guarantor of peace and an arbitrator of great interests, can nevertheless prevent it from dominating and extirpating the rest of society.

In Fotoessa, we are working to strengthen stakeholder cooperation with public authorities to deliver beneficial policies and reforms in education and training. We implement educational and training programs aiming at the continuous strengthening of the institutions of the Civil Society and the achievement of its objectives.
