The Civil Society Support Program in Central Asia will foster a cohort of active young leaders, strengthen civil society’s role in calling attention to issues of public concern, enhance the sector’s ability to address the needs of the people, and help civil society organizations become more financially stable and focused on results.
Through the Civil Society Support Program, USAID will establish the Central Asia Young Leadership Academy to build the capacity of young leaders between the ages of 18 and 30 to support and advocate for their communities.
