  1. Development NGOs and the State of Civil Society in Africa:Four Theses on a Paradoxical relationship • Thesis 1: Civil society has emerged as a visible space and actor in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA), even if it remains fragile • Thesis 2: The re-emergence of CS in SSA is due in a large part to the mediating role of NNGOs. • Thesis 3: The mediating role of NNGOs is not entirely benign as it also constrains, crowds out, and ultimately undermines the emergence of an African Civil Society. • Thesis 4: The Future of CS in SSA is dependent on a restructuring of NNGO-CS relations within the context of Aid.
