The Initiative to Promote Afghan Civil Society, implemented by Counterpart International, promotes the development of a politically active civil society with an emphasis on women-focused organizations. During 2007, the U.S. Government (USG) will promote the development of a flourishing civil society through: capacity-building and technical assistance; implementation of a law enabling civil society organizations (CSOs); and the award and administration of small grants to CSOs, particularly those which are led by and/or serve women. Specific goals for this project are to:
- Increase the sustainability and performance of CSOs;
- Make CSOs more active and effective;
- Increase the number of registered CSOs under the new law;
- Improve advocacy and service delivery through training and disbursement of small grants;
- Improve legislation and regulations that pertain to civil society; and
- Increase the percentage of USG-supported CSOs that improve their ranking on the civil society capacity scale.
