المستخلص: Based on qualitative data from Kassala State, Eastern Sudan, this article argues that the legitimacy of civil society organizations is contested and permeated with ethnic entrepreneurship. Civil society organizations are part of a complex situation in which social divisions go along ethnic lines, and in which native administration has a long-standing presence. The role of civil society organizations in the process of peace building in eastern Sudan needs to be conceptualized in light of this complex situation, and also in light of the historical factors that contribute to the proliferation of civil society organization in the area. Part of the legitimacy contestation relates to the fact that civil society organizations work under state laws and therefore their legitimacy is based on accepting state laws regardless of whether such laws are commensurable with the ideals of civil society or not. The evidence from Kassala shows that whatever role civil society is expected to play, it is contingent on the fact that civil society is part and parcel of socioeconomic and political setup in eastern Sudan. Donors’ conditions, the state, ethnic affiliation, and elite entrepreneurship are such factors that affect the outlook, functions and the contribution of civil society in peace building.
