Our Strength
The Foundation works to strengthen the capacity of the government & citizens to address local development issues; creates civil society programs that foster balanced collaboration between citizen & state; supports innovative programs to prevent violence against women; & encourages market-led growth through policy reform.
Promoting Social Accountability
