In January 2015, Center for Democracy Foundation started realization of the project: “Towards Increased Transparency and Clear Criteria for Employment in Public Sector – Stop Political Employment”. 

Corruption that occurs during employment process, among other things, violates the principles of equality and non-discrimination and some of basic human rights. On one side, it disables the practicing of right to employment and right to equal access to all available work places; and on the other side it limits the rights of employees to decent work and the right to advance according the established criteria. Therefore, this type of corruption, often classified as small corruption, boost discrimination, strongly affect on everyday life of citizens, prevents accomplishments of basic human rights and leads to even bigger gap of social differences. Corruption during employing has much greater consequences than those visible at first sight; it habitually leads to employment of workers who are not qualified for the jobs they are supposed to do, which further influence the efficiency and productivity of all employees, the company itself and lastly – the whole commerce.

The goal of this project is to contribute to fight against corruption through advocating for the rule of law and transparency in the area of employment in public sector and public companies.

Activities we will implement in the following 15 months include:

• Monitoring the implementation of the Strategy for Fight Against Corruption and Action Plan in the area of fight against corruption during employment in public sector;
• Monitoring of local action plans for fight against the corruption in Kragujevac, Kraljevo, Zrenjanin and Kikinda;
• Cross-sectorial round tables;
• Support for local civil society organizations through awarding small grants and improvement of their capacities for fight against corruption.

All our activities on the project will be accompanied by interactive campaign.

Project is being realized in partnership with Belgrade Center for Human Rights and Initiative for Local Development from Kraljevo.
