About half of Romanians say they trust non-governmental organizations, while two-thirds report having interacted with an NGO, according to the Barometer of Opinions on Civil Society - BOSC 2025, conducted by the Foundation for the Development of Civil Society (FDSC). Trust is highest among young people aged 18-29, at 57%, a group that is also more actively involved in civic life than other age categories.
The survey showed that 49% of respondents trust NGOs, compared with 36% for trade unions and 19% for political parties, while 62% believe a democratic society cannot function without non-governmental organizations.
