Purpose: to assist to creation of conditions for building democratic civil society via providing fair access to information on development programs administered by NGO and International Agencies to rural population of Sugd Province.
We believe that our intervention must expand social capital not human wants which they satisfy gradually. We believe that regular savings as well as investment must form the ground for the development and that institutes of people starting from SHG and Mahalla Committees with developed system of transparency and accountability to their community both in and outside are keystone for the sustainable growth and guarantee for regular changes for the well being of the poor. These tools will be the basis for developing decentralized democratic system.
We think that an approach based on rules of rural community being realized on micro level must eliminate gap between statements by official authorities stimulated by country – donors and international agencies and real implementation of laws, strategies and initiatives. The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper approved by parliament of the country in June 2002 and Joint Council of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in December 2002 is the basis for loan schemes of the international finance institutes. However, PRSP can remain as wonderful idea on the paper if there is no development and acceptance of procedure for civil society participation in its realization, if the society will not have own feeling for reform process, if donors’ assistance program is not pro – poor.
