Addressing existing challenges of sustainable development is impossible with the limited effort of any given sector alone, and requires partnership of all sectors, both public and private. Participatory decision-making process remains to be a challenge in Georgia, both locally and centrally. The guarantees to engage in the policy-making process are scarce, inconsistent and often limited to merely informing or consulting, rather than meaningful and inclusive dialogue.
Over the years CENN has secured a reputation of a reliable, effective, resourceful and results-oriented partner in relationship with state as well as private institutions. CENN is facilitating participatory decision-making process and engagement of non-state stakeholders. We are active members and/or co-chairs of relevant thematic working groups on central level, and initiators of various multi-stakeholder platforms on local level. In addition to advocating for more inclusive processes, we engage directly with local actors including CSOs, communities and youth, to increase their capacities as change-makers.
