FY2021 Activity Status Questionnaire

We conducted a questionnaire on the status of 44 social movement groups (excluding Neighborhood Association, Park Protection Association, and the Japan National Council of Social Welfare) adopted between 2005 and 2020. (22 groups, recovery rate: 50%)
As a result, 15 organizations (68.2%) have continued the adopted activities, 6 groups (27.3%) are developing new activities, and 7 organizations have suspended their activities (*) (31.8%). (* 5 of these organizations are suspended due to COVID-19.)
We found that many of the selected projects continue their activities or broadened their activities and are rooted in the community.
