Description:
The USAID funded Iraq Civil Society Activity will increase citizen engagement in the public sphere, especially among women and youth, while supporting civil society organizations (CSOs) to connect to and empower citizens and other CSOs. The expected activity result is a relevant, active, resilient, and inclusive civil society sector that more effectively fosters change towards an increasingly equitable and democratic Iraq. The Activity has three main objectives: Objective 1: Increase the engagement and agency of citizens, especially women and youth, to actively contribute to positive change on shared citizen-identified priorities, as well as on priority sectors, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, and gender and youth inclusion. Objective 2: Increase sustainability and resilience of civil society organizations (CSOs) to represent citizens interests and advance community-led development. Objective 3: Strengthen a public sphere that fosters the active and inclusive participation of civil society in public discourse and citizen-driven change, including among marginalized groups.
