USAID/Georgia, through the Agency's Development Grants Program (DGP), is inviting applications from Local Non-Governmental Organizations (LNGOs) and U.S. Private and Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) to foster sustainable grassroots development through the support of local development initiatives and capacity strengthening of these organizations. The objective of the DGP is to strengthen LNGOs and U.S. PVOs, recognizing that a vibrant and active NGO sector is fundamental to promoting a healthy civil society that is accountable and responsive to citizens' needs.
