Development of Civic Oversight Commissions

• Explore the U.S. experience in citizen-led oversight committees;
• Study best practices in developing civil society and its institutions;
• Highlight effective strategies in local fundraising and capacity building for NGOs;
• Examine methods of fostering coordination and cooperation between local leaders, companies, and civilian oversight organizations; and
• Encourage ties between U.S. and Russian colleagues on international civil society cooperation to encourage further exchange of experience and best practices.
