This activity’s goal is to strengthen formal and informal citizen groups (community-based organizations), and support and enhance their role in advancing Azerbaijan’s social and economic development while introducing innovative participatory practices at the local and regional levels.

The theory of change is that if citizens and citizens’ groups are strengthened and supported to more effectively engage their government; and if opportunities for engagement between government, citizens, and the private sector are increased; then citizens can better contribute to the socio-economic development of their communities and improve governance in their areas of influence
