Growing Civil Society in Central Asia: INTRAC's First Central Asia Regional Conference, Almaty, Kazakhstan, 13-14 June 2002

Garbutt, Anne; Heap, Simon, eds.

In December 2001 INTRAC's Tenth Anniversary conference in Oxford, set out to evaluate and appraise the different approaches adopted to supporting, building and reinforcing civil society. Within this conference there was a clear representation of civil society organisations from across Central Asia. The INTRAC programme of institutional development of civil society in Central Asia was presented as a model of civil society development that, whilst may not be replicable in other areas of the world certainly, had gained some valuable lessons learned that could be shared internationally.
