The C20 Indonesia is structured in seven Working Groups (WG). One of them is the Education, Digitalization, and Civic Space Working Group (EDC WG). The Sub-WG Civic Space is planning to address three priority issues: Protect and Expand Civic Space; Put an End to Attacks, Criminalization, Stigmatization of Civil Society Actors; and Build and Strengthen Partnerships with Civil Society Actors in Public Policy Development and Decision Making.
