USAID Democracy Network Program in Bulgaria aimed to strengthen civil society organizations, build local government/NGO partnerships, and increase public participation in decisionmaking. The program's priorities in Bulgaria were: economic development, social safety net, environmental protection, and democracy building. The second phase of the program — DemNet II — established a network of intermediary support organizations (ISOs) to provide the civil society sector with improved political access, services and funds. This support strengthened the management, public outreach, and public policy advocacy effectiveness of civic ISOs working on a variety of citizen participation, public policy and advocacy issues throughout the country.
