OpportunityTitle: Building Effective Civic Engagement
CategoryExplanation: The overall goal of the &#147;Building Effective Civic Engagement&#148; Program is to help create a more balanced and effective public oversight of and engagement with the government by strengthening Georgia&#146;s Civil Society sector.
Description: The project will undertake activities to encourage effective civic engagement by strengthening the advocacy and watchdog roles of CSOs, improving their ability to carry out public policy analysis, and helping develop networks of CSOs throughout Georgia while strengthening CSOs&#146; connections to media, political parties, and constituencies. For effective civic engagement, CSOs should exhibit a clear relevance to society, and be transparent and accountable. Their transparency and accountability rest on their ability to maintain their internal operation in a professional manner according to widely accepted business operations standards, and to make their financial records publicly available. This project will provide support in addressing both the internal organizational capacity as well as the technical capacity of CSOs through consistent and targeted organizational development efforts.
