Using New Tactics in Kyrgyzstan

The New Tactics in Human Rights, through a grant provided by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), was able to provide eight grants in 2007-08 to organizations using New Tactics resources and tools to further their efforts. We are very proud to feature the wonderful work that they have been doing.

In Kyrgyzstan, the Citizens Against Corruption (CAC) has been using New Tactics materials to bring insight and justice to the recent election, women's issues and the mining industry. They used and translated the Familiar Tools, Emerging Issues notebook into Russian and Kyrgyz. This helped them monitor the recent election and mobilize the youth to try and rectify the anomalies they discovered.

In addition, New Tactics is pleased to announce that the NED has awarded the New Tactics project with another grant for 2008-09. An announcement will be posted in the near future regarding the grant application process. Watch this space for news of the accomplishments of the other 2007-08 grantees.
