Civil Society Advocacy ProjectName: Civil Society Advocacy ProjectDuration: August 2007 – August 2010 Donor: USAID The objective of the Civil Society Advocacy (CSA) program is to see citizens’ organizations fortified with robust civic knowledge, democratic values, and organizing skills that enable them to advocate for issues of interest to themselves, their communities, and/or the general public. Pact, with its consortium partners National Democratic Institute (NDI) and Internews, seek to achieve this objective through providing technical assistance, subgrant mechanisms (supporting national and subnational advocacy campaigns), advocacy training, and organizational development. The project is designed with the political, economic and social realities of Haiti at the forefront. All activities are based on international best practice, leverage the expertise of the three consortium partners, and ensure technical soundness. The program will prioritize strengthening local organizations, empowering them to become active agents for change. Contextually critical issues including HIV/AIDS are cross-cutting themes in this program and will be integrated into all programmatic activities, as appropriate. The program will target youth as well as ensure that program activities take directly into account differences in the way in which men and women are affected by issues related to civil society advocacy in Haiti.
