Result 2: Strengthened and developed capacities of local CSOs to advocate for constituents' rights, identify and mitigate potential sources of conflict, and reduce vulnerability and social exclusion of disenfranchised (marginalized) groups in the identified communities. Result 3: Local government officials possess the skills to seek and put to use contributions from civic groups, businesses, and citizens in decision-making processes. Result 4: Increased volume and quality of community participation in designing, implementing and monitoring corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in target communities.
