Active Citizens Program (ACP)

The Active Citizens Program (ACP), funded by the British Council, worked to train youth volunteers and encourage them to monitor schools and seek education sector reforms. 19 of the 35 member organizations of the Free and Fair Election Network (FAFEN) implemented the Active Citizens Programme (ACP) in 34 districts. FAFEN’s partners profiled the youth in their respective working units. The organizations were selected on the basis of the volunteer pool available to them. The program was implemented in two phases; in the first phase, 17 organizations implemented the program in 17 districts, and in the second phase 12 organizations carried out interventions across 17 districts.

Under the program, 6,000 volunteers and 19 civil society organizations were engaged.
