With more than 1,800 members in Baghdad alone, Community Action Groups, or CAGs, are an organized network of local change agents, from homemakers to professionals. By understanding local needs and advocating for them with officials at the neighborhood and district levels, CAGs provide a vital link between citizens and their government, fostering transparency, responsiveness, and—crucially—public confidence. These civil society trailblazers are a key part of the legacy of the USAID Iraq Community Action Program in Baghdad.
