The rationale of the project is to provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Justice, as a beneficiary in the project, so that the Ministry can design and implement a public awareness campaign on the theme of corruption and its manifold aspects: causes, risks, approaches to anticorruption. The activities of the project focus around education of the public and the representatives of the target groups (public services, business environment, schools, hospitals, the judiciary etc) in regard to the negative consequences corruption has on democracy and socio-economic development. The project also aims to inform the public about their legal and moral responsibility to fight corruption, as well as about the practical methods to fulfill this responsibility.

The conference took place in September and had the main theme of clarifying the status of the prosecutor in Romania.
