Islamabad: Cavish Development Foundation is all set to change the public accountability landscape in two districts of Sindh by increasing civic engagement activities and strengthening local democratic platforms.
Under a thirty-month duration ‘Citizen's Action for Democratic Governance in Pakistan’ project, supported by The Asia Foundation, Cavish is going to facilitate formation of four ‘Constituency Relations Groups’ (CRGs) that would strengthen public accountability mechanisms for the members of the national and provincial assemblies. These CRGs would have members from different walks of life.
The CRGs will hold several public forums and peoples’ assemblies where elected representatives will be invited to listen and address issues of civic concerns.
Besides, the CRGs will also visit national and provincial assemblies after every three months to meet MPAs/MNAs and lobby with them for addressing issues facing their constituencies.
Being a founding member of ‘Free and Fair Elections Network’ (FAFEN), Cavish would also collect data for Corruption Index and State of Political Parties Index through surveys and focus group discussions, to be held under this project.
