The organisation’s goals are to:

  • Support and strengthen community participation in the political process and communication with legislative and executive institutions.
  • Increase transparency and accountability of governmental and legislative institutions’ activities so as to enhance their performance.
  • Build peace and national unity, spread a culture of dialogue and peaceful coexistence in the community.
  • Build and develop organisational capacities for local civil society organisations, enabling them to act independently and with a high degree of professionalism.
The organisation has been involved  in a wide range of activities in Iraq since it was established in 2004, including:
  • Conflict resolution.
  • Monitoring elections and referendums.
  • Raising awareness of democracy and governance.
  • Organising campaigns against corruption.
  • Raising-awareness through several campaigns which dealt with the Iraqi constitution, the role of the parliament, democracy and elections, and financial and administrative corruption.
  • Promoting the active participation of voters in elections in Ninewa.
  • Building trust among the Ninewa population through monitoring the national assembly elections in 2005.
  • Leading a coalition of NGOs in Ninewa through the “ACT network” which monitored the referendum on constitutional process, voters’ registry as well as elections of provincial and parliamentary elections.
