Civil society monitoring process
Background
Civil society organizations play an important role in the National Monitoring of Discrimination and Racism (NaDiRa). They should participate in it and critically accompany it. This civil society monitoring process is intended to help incorporate a variety of perspectives into the racism monitor, address research questions relevant to the reality of life for affected communities and derive measures that are tailored to their needs.
Migrant organizations, New German Organizations and other civil society organizations have been calling for the collection of data for some time in order to make existing inequality more visible.

- Federal Conference of Migrant Organizations: Anti-Racism Agenda 2025
- Center for Intersectional Justice: Intersectionality in Germany. Opportunities, gaps and challenges (2019)
Many migrant organizations and BPoC self-organizations have been producing knowledge about racism for decades. In addition, there is a need for a database that maps structural racism in all its forms. This creates the basis for an effective anti-racism policy.
The civil society expert group
The National Monitoring of Discrimination and Racism (NaDiRa) is supported by a civil society expert group. Its purpose is to advise the NaDiRa researchers, support its development and disseminate its findings. Migrant organizations, diasporic organizations, new German organizations and organizations/institutions that focus on the topic of (anti-)racism can be included in the expert group.
