The study can be significant in a way that the analysis of the dimensions internally affecting the development of the CSOs fully intends to improve and push forward the engagement of CSOs with society, reinforcing their roles and strengthening the democratic process. Within the qualitative research framework, the database is enabled with the secondary resources- theories, methodology, research report, and more on employing qualitative modes of inquiry through the document analysis and comparative study. Moreover, the quantitative approach to the analysis of the dimensions that affect CSOs capacity is based on a certain number of NGOs selected by random sampling followed by the data collected and analyzed using the SPSS statistical program.
