Civic Development Institute dreams about truly democratic Georgia that is governed by every citizen with free will and rational motivation.

CDI believes that informed and fair election has a crucial role for country’s further development and strives to raise civic awareness and responsibility on the existing processes in the country.

CDI contributes to building the country that doesn’t have political leaders with no alternatives; that does not have political parties that whether get 100 percent of votes or vanish in case of failure. In order to change this reality our organization supports formation of civil society in the following ways:

• by instillation of political and social Culture
• by inculcation of liberal values
• by creating tolerant atmosphere
• by protecting people whose rights have been violated
• by improving professionalism and sense of responsibility in journalists

CDI’s mission is to raise civic awareness; to increase the role of education; to transform social atmosphere and to encourage people for motivated participation in country’s institutional development.

Main directions of CDI’s activities are:

• youth informal civic education;
• environment;
• support freedom of speech;
• protecting women and children rights;

CDI works throughout Georgia and its target groups are:

• senior pupils of secondary schools;
• students of high schools;
• journalists;
• women and children whose rights have been violated;
• voters of Georgia;
