Description

The project aims at a proactive mapping of governance in Romania in relation to 3 main directions of action: transparency and competence in public functions, transparency and integrity in public administration and, fighting illegal exploitation and destruction of biodiversity.

We want to responds, on one hand, to the need of correct information and awareness of young people regarding the rule of law, and on the other hand, to proposes effective mechanisms for civic involvement in legitimizing/sanctioning political and governmental measures.

Impact of political management on the health system; the phenomenon of illegal deforestation; misappropriation of public funds (especially in the award of public procurement contracts), abuse of power, i.e. conflict of interest in the public system; fictitious employment in state institutions and companies - all have a common denominator – CORRUPTION. Thas why we propose through the project actions to identify and "map" the political sector, advocacy actions on systemic slippage, investigation and watchdog activities on the main issues addressed, respectively actions of active involvement of 3,000 young people in watchdog activities and legitimate influence of political decisions. The direct beneficiaries of the project are the young adults (18-29 years old) to which are added the adults, 300 representatives from the private environment, NGOs and the public sector involved in the awareness activity regarding the role of the applicant organization.

We will collaborate with the Rise Project organization on investigative journalism and with Conservation Carpathia Foundation on the subject of monitoring illegal deforestation.
