This grant is for the purpose of enhancing effective civic engagement by bolstering the advocacy and watchdog capabilities of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Georgia. It aims to improve their public policy analysis skills and build robust networks, strengthening their vital connections with media, political parties, and constituents. The initiative recognizes that effective CSOs must demonstrate societal relevance, transparency, and accountability. To achieve this, the grant will support CSOs in professionalizing their internal operations according to accepted business standards and ensuring public access to their financial records. Ultimately, this project provides consistent and targeted support to develop both the internal organizational and technical capacities of CSOs.
