Objectives & Approach

This project is designed to strengthen the participation and engagement of Central Asian civil society organizations (CSOs) in regional dialogues, both among themselves and with the European Union. Through structured and continuous dialogue, CSOs will have opportunities to build and reinforce collaborative alliances with key stakeholders. The project also provides technical support and training to help CSOs enhance their skills across various domains, alongside mini-grants aimed at addressing pressing challenges within the communities they serve.

A key focus of the project is empowering young leaders, building on the momentum of the Young Voices of Central Asia Forum held in Samarkand in 2022. This includes the creation of Youth Sounding Boards as well as targeted training and knowledge-sharing sessions. Young leaders will engage with critical topics for sustainable development, such as environmental protection and digital innovation, equipping them to drive meaningful change in their communities.
