The project aims to enhance citizens’
participation in anticorruption as follows:
→ facilitate public access to information related to their rights;
→ offer juridical guidance regarding complaint procedures in case of fraudulent
use of public funds or when citizens are victims of corruption or learn about
cases of corruption;
→ offer citizens the opportunity to take action against corruption by
implementing information campaigns. These campaigns will include brochures and
citizens’ guides and will provide practical advice and information related to
concrete questions, such as "How to fight against corruption in fiscal
administration.”
→ open dialogue with public institutions for the setting up of mechanisms
capable to deal with citizens’ complaints effectively
→ Setting up a juridical assistance service
(through the setting up of an Advocacy and Legal Advice Centre) for
victims and witnesses of corruption;
→ Drawing up and disseminating guides and other educational
materials for victims and witnesses of corruption;
→ Advocacy activities for a more consistent enforcement of
anticorruption regulations and for the improvement of current
anticorruption legislation.
