Participatory and responsible democracy, local, state and national institutions must be accountable and accessible to citizens and civil society. We prepare organizations with the knowledge, skill and capacity to effectively engage with their government institutions. Collaboration and strong citizen advocacy that fosters stronger democratic governments and enabling environment for economic growth. We believe that better services and cooperative linkages build trust in government, and increase the willingness of citizens to pay taxes and fees for services.

We analyze the level of fragility that prevails within the state and its institutions-ranging from corruption and deteriorating governance to ongoing violent conflict, pos-conflict or political transition, and gradual improvement.

We translate this analysis into solutions through participatory planning and community decision-making tools that help local partners prioritize needs and solve problems. We consider the long-term impact that short term activities may have on state-building and development prospects, balancing the need to deliver visible benefits with the need to lay the foundation for durable peace.
