Dutch term or phrase: De maatschappelijke organisaties staan veelal dicht bij de basis

De maatschappelijke organisaties staan veelal dicht bij de basis en werken van onderop. Zij zijn cruciaal om een stabiele maatschappij op te bouwen. Maatschappelijke organisaties promoten ook de agenda van goed bestuur en democratie in een globaliserende wereld. De onstuimige groei van de internationale handel gaat niet vanzelf gepaard met een rechtvaardige verdeling van de lusten en lasten. Maatschappelijke organisaties beïnvloeden de agenda en de uitkomsten van internationaal overleg over onderwerpen als handel, voedsel, energie, klimaat en milieu.
