Shakhes Think Tank believes that strengthening democracy and enhancing the legitimacy of policies require active platforms for the participation and engagement of citizens and civil society organizations in decision-making and policymaking processes. We believe that through constructive interaction between the government, civil society, and citizens (interactive approach) and by providing genuine opportunities for them to participate in shaping their own future (participatory approach), it is possible to achieve fairer, more sustainable, and widely accepted policies in a democratic system. In our democracy-oriented services, our goal is to facilitate processes where all stakeholders' voices are heard and diverse perspectives are incorporated into policymaking in a democratic environment.
Shakhes Think Tank, leveraging this approach, offers a variety of services to strengthen democratic participation. Through the design and implementation of interactive programs, we create spaces for direct dialogue between policymakers and citizens within a democratic framework. Additionally, by utilizing participatory methods, we assist NGOs and diverse community groups in effectively and systematically conveying their perspectives and demands to officials in a democratic system. Our efforts are focused on increasing public awareness, enhancing civil society capacities, and establishing transparent and accountable mechanisms to foster informed and responsible citizen participation in political and social processes aimed at strengthening democracy.

Our services in this area include the following:
