Grant Description

USAIDs Accountability in Governance and Politics (AGAP) program helps Cambodia to strengthen public participation in political processes, improve multi-party competition, support electoral administration and strengthen governance.

USAID assistance will help Cambodians hold all levels of their government accountable for policy performance by: (1) expanding transparency and access to information; (2) generating progressive leadership; and (3) supporting electoral integrity and observation.

The program strengthens accountability and expands transparency and access to information through, among other activities, regular national political surveys and constituency dialogues, which are town hall-style meetings that allow interaction and exchanges of information between members of parliament and their constituents.

The program generates progressive leadership through its work with young people, including through the Youth Council of Cambodia and the Youth Leadership Challenge television show.
