Civil society development engages citizens, nongovernmental
organizations, and government bodies to work in partnership to
improve their communities and foster good governance.

IREX adapts its approach and training to meet the specific local
needs of a community so that stakeholders can better serve their
constituents. IREX integrates targeted activities for underrepresented
populations, which include women, youth, ethnic minorities,
individuals with HIV/AIDS, and people with disabilities. Program
areas include:

• Citizen Participation and Advocacy
• Community and Social Development
