• The overarching goal of the project is:
    • Improve democratic governance in Iraq by expanding civic participation, with a focus on the younger generation. A motivated and mobilized citizenry that demands accountability of its government is a vital component for Iraq's transition to full democracy.
    • Generating civic activism among Iraqis young men and women and rallying communities to address public issues will be crucial steps in achieving this goal.

    • Youth are the strategic focus of this program because youth connect all elements of society and young leaders can serve as catalysts for change.

    • By focusing a community’s attention on retaining and engaging its youth, the community can rally to support the youth in their endeavors to improve their community.
