dc.description.abstractDonor support for Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Nigeria has grown over the years with noticeable increase since the return of the country democratic rule on May 29, 1999. However, involvement and impact of CSOs in Nigeria's democratic processes have been treated with mixed feeling. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between development partners. civil society and democratic consolidation in Nigeria. Moreover, data for this study were obtained from text books. Journal articles. DFID report. USAID report and other similar international agencies. However. we discovered that there is absence of capacity development of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at the state and local government level rather there is capacity development at the.national level. This has resulted to the marginalisation of state based civil society organisation that have contributed in demanding for accountability from political parties, elected officials, the media at-the state level. We argued here that for CSOs to effectively participate in democratic consolidation process in Nigeria their resource base and capacity must be enhanced for them to pay greater attention to grassroots development especially in the area of infrastructure.
