This grant aims to empower selected North Caucasus communities to more effectively advocate for public interest projects and participate in governance. It seeks to foster better governance and citizen satisfaction by developing advocacy mechanisms for meaningful civic participation in local decision-making. The project posits that an informed, active citizenry, linked to effective NGOs, will enable populations to articulate needs and seek redress. By increasing local satisfaction with governments, this initiative expects to reduce community tensions that fuel violence and separatism, ultimately enhancing peace, social cohesion, and economic prosperity.
