Strengthening Rule of Law and Enhanced Anti-Corruption
USAID 2003
OSC advised on building the capacity of the Supreme Court, journalists, and NGOs to deliver information in a clear and transparent manner. Capacity building strengthened rule of law and anti-corruption initiatives by increasing media and public access to government institutions, enabling citizens' groups and journalists to hold government accountable through the use of public media and ensuring that government officials understand the impact of corrupt or questionable actions. OSC also worked with local NGOs to increase their capacity to participate in policy discussions and advocate for specific reforms.
