Center for providing legal assistance in the fight against corruption – phase II

• Making information on citizens’ rights easily available and accessible to the public.

• Providing citizens with legal advice on how to report complaints in cases of misuse of public funds or in situations where the citizen is a victim of or is aware of corruption.
• Enabling citizens to take actions against corruption by running awareness campaigns. The campaigns will include producing promotional leaflets or ‘how to’ guides for citizens, which provide practical information and advice on a number of issues e.g. ‘How to fight corruption in the tax administration’.
• Opening a dialogue with the national institutions to support the establishment of appropriate mechanisms for citizens’ complaints.

Activities

• Case studies of citizen’s complaints against corruption, using statistics and qualitative examples (who complains about what, which agencies were involved, which authorities were most vigilant in pursuing corruption, etc.);
• Monthly press releases and reports to the public;
• “Should I complain?” an ethical brochure for citizens about why individual action is important for combating corruption;
• raining manual for government agencies on dealing with citizen’s complaints and obligations under freedom of information and conflict of interest;
• Cooperation with journalists and radio and TV broadcasters on small programs about corruption cases.
