4. Call for Applications: Strengthening Civic Engagement in Kazakhstan
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for a Cooperative Agreement from qualified entities to implement the Strengthening Civic Engagement in Kazakhstan.
While the strong collaboration between the government and civil society is positive from a public service delivery perspective, CSOs dependent on public funding are unlikely to be objective in their assessment of the government. This can also limit their ability to address people’s needs and to achieve better development outcomes. Conversely, civil society actors that are not reliant on government funding can act more independently and more effectively mediate between citizens and the state. Therefore, this activity prioritizes support for independent civil society.
USAID has identified several approaches to strengthening the civil society sector: building coalitions of actors to collaborate on shared development challenges; supporting innovative solutions to help citizens achieve a broad set of rights; and strengthening the enabling environment so that civil society can maximize their full potential to contribute to societal welfare—all while fostering a new generation of civically oriented citizens.
