The USAID Civil Society Engagement Program works to enable new civic actors and civil society organizations (CSOs) in Georgia to become trusted and legitimate representatives of citizens` interests, energize communities to advocate for their rights, and create a stable ecosystem for civil society`s financial sustainability and philanthropy.

The Program brings together co-creative processes, tailored and learning-by-doing capacity development assistance, opportunities for building horizontal and vertical partnerships, and grant programs to support new civic actors and experienced CSOs to experiment, design, implement, and monitor innovative, context-specific, and evidence-based public education and advocacy initiatives.

The Program also leverages EWMI`s business sector, CSO, media, and government contacts in Georgia to foster multi-sectoral collaboration to secure sustainable domestic funding to achieve self-reliance and results. Additionally, the Program invests in increasing competitiveness of Network of Centers for Civic Engagement (NCCE) by helping it to diversify its portfolio and expand income-generating services.
