25 years of Transition: The Role of Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia
A fire-side chat with Sergei Guriev, Professor of Economics, Sciences Po (incoming EBRD Chief Economist)
Civil society, operating in the space between public and private sectors, has played an important role in socio-political and economic transition processes around the world, including the EBRD’s traditional countries of operations. In 25 years since the establishment of the EBRD, civil society’s contribution to transition has varied across the post-communist transition region. In some countries, the work of civil society organisations (CSOs) has contributed to more democratic political systems and more open market based economies as a ‘reputational actor’ performing a ‘watchdog’ function and as a generator of ‘social capital’ necessary to sustain the change process through the difficult early years. In other countries, the focus of CSOs has been on providing a variety of social services particularly to disadvantaged and vulnerable people negatively affected by the transition process. Many civil society actors have been operating in restrictive regulatory environments, and have relied heavily on international donor funding.
What has been civil society’s input into promoting good governance, sustainable development and economic inclusion in EBRD’s traditional region over the past few decades? What are the key lessons learned, from both its successes and failures that can be applied to other countries embarking on a transition process? What steps could be taken to increase the role of civil society in promoting positive changes in societies and economies?
The discussion looked back at the key achievements and setbacks of the civil society sector in contributing to transition since the Bank’s establishment. It also reflected upon the challenges ahead for civil society in building well-governed, sustainable and inclusive economies and societies.

Village Pimpalgaon Nipani, Niphad Block, Dist, Nashik, Maharashtra, INDIA. Women along with their children attend programme on Nutrition for child and women, Malnutrition, superstition, Womens rights, child education rights etc. outside primary school in Pimpalgaon Nipani Village. Maharashtra was the first state in the country to take a decision to tackle malnutrition in ‘Mission – mode’. The first phase of the Health and Nutrition Mission was set up in 2005, and the second phase in November 2011. The aim of the Mission is to reduce child malnutrition in Maharashtra by focusing on the first 1000 days from conception, i.e. the period of -9 to 24 months. Though technically under the Women & Child Development, in practice the Mission works as an antonomous technical and advisory body, funded by UNICEF. It aims at improving convergence and coordination between Health and Integrated Child Development Scheme (ICDS). The recent Nutrition Survey (CNSM - 2012) conducted by International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS), the same agency that has implemented the national DHS surveys in India in 1992, 1999, 2006. The preliminary findings of the survey indicate that the prevalence of stunting in children under-two decreased from 39.0 per cent in 2006 to 22.8 per cent in 2012, which shows encouraging improvements in the nutritional status of children in Maharashtra over the last 6 to 7 years, with marked reduction in the incidence of under – weight, wasting and stunting in children below 2 years of age. Importantly, prevalence of severe stunting in children under-two decreased from 14.6 per cent in 2006 to 7.8 per cent in 2012. This positive trend is seen both in rural and urban areas. This can be attributed to several initiatives under NRHM, the expansion of the anganwadi network and the efforts of the Mission. As per the latest Nutrition Survey In Maharashtra (CNSM 2012), all measures of malnutrition have reduced substantially in the last 6 years, including stunting and wasting.

Page from the theatre programme for a production of "Florodora" at the Hippodrome Theatre, Keighley, staged by Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society in November 1926. This page includes an advert for Waterhouse's Drapery and Costume Business. The business had recently relocated from their old shop on South Street to "central and modern premises" on North Street. The advert includes an illustration of their original shop in 1805.
Keighley Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society's production of "Florodora" played at the Hippodrome Theatre in Keighley for six nights (and a Saturday matinee) from Monday 22nd November 1926. The comic opera had music by Leslie Stuart, a libretto by Owen Hall, and lyrics by E. Boyd Jones and Paul Rubens. The KAODS production was produced and directed by G. Edward Hall, with musical director Joseph Harker.
The story takes place on the paradise-like island of Florodora and then in the Welsh castle of Abercoed. It involves an unscrupulous American Cyrus W. Gilfain (played by Arthur B. Hird) who now claims to own Florodora and has "distilled" its rare essence for exploitation purposes. The rightful owner of the island has died, and his surviving daughter Dolores (Edith Robson) is unaware of her inheritance. The Englishman handling Gilfain's distillation process is Frank Abercoed (Arthur G. Ramsden) who has fallen in love with Dolores. Her true identity is discovered by 'Professor' Anthony Tweedlepunch (Ernest Marsden) with whom she then mysteriously disappears. All the characters then reassemble at Gilfain's purchased family seat at Abercoed Castle and after much subterfuge everyone is partnered off appropriately and the secret of the island is maintained.
The show also starred Jack Crabtree, Louis G. Bacon, Alan Petty, Allan Potter, Edward Caswell, Leonard Jackson, Clarence Haigh, Jack Steele, Hilda Mitchell, Eva Robson, Mabel Feather, Elsie Butterfield, Mrs M. Asquith, Ethel Smith, Evie M. Carr, Peggy Eaton, Nellie Hardwick, Stella Dewhirst, Claire Mitchell, Elsie Pickles, Sallie Corban, Mrs John Spencer and Mrs Percy Taylor.
