Civic Stage

We're back with another episode from our Civic Innovator series. Civic innovators are people who are solving real world problems in difficult situations. We'll be bringing you an intimate look at how everyday citizens make change happen and help to protect and expand civic space everywhere. Our guests today are leading projects that serve as "watchdogs" or projects that address civic space challenges through raising awareness of issues related to transparency and accountability, especially with regard to government action; the blockage of websites, government expenditures, and attacks on marginalized communities. Our guests today are: Margarita Abascal Asociación Civil Ernesto Schneider & Troller - ACEST Project: Plataforma por la Transparencia de las OSC Fase II Guatemala LAC Hub Minjirmaa Namjinbaatar Independent Research Institute of Mongolia (IRIM) Project: Empowering CSOs for Improved Government Digital Transparency Mongolia, Central Asia Muhammadi Ibodulloev CIPI Project: Transparent access to up-to-date domestic information Dushanbe, Tajikistan Central Asia Hub
