I cittadini attivi organizzati sono diversi milioni, anche se non è possibile conoscerne il numero esatto perché tutte le indagini e ricerche fatte fino ad oggi fanno riferimento a concetti più ampi come “terzo settore”, “organizzazioni senza scopo di lucro”, “società civile”, o più restrittivi come “organizzazioni di volontariato

active organised citizens
To translate civil society would be going beyond the text. Clearly civil society is composed of active organised citizens. But then how do you translated 'società civile'?

Comment: "Thanks for all the suggestions, but in this case I needed the literal translation provided by James."

: however, the text seems to draw a distinction between "società civile" and "cittadini attivi organizzati"...

lively provincial towns
You could add "organized" too, but, if it's a "town", it's obvious that it has some kind of administration.

: maybe you confused "cittadine" (s.f.pl.)=towns with cittadini(s.m.pl)=citizens, in any case I think that they could not be millions, as the source text states

: Activist would give the idea of something very political, which is not necessarily the case

I understand your point, but activist doesn't necessarily implies protest or confrontation.

Alfredo Tutino
: ho il dubbio che "activist citizens" si riferisca soprattutto ad attività legate alla politica (in senso lato) e sia poco adatto a cose come ad es. le attività assistenzali organizzata dalle parrocchie, che invece rientrano in ciò di cui si parla qui

la mia insegnante di storia soleva dire "tutto e' politica", frase che ho completamente capito solo anni dopo...ma capisco il tuo appunto, anche se non lo condivido completamente. Ciao!
