ALAC project is being successfully implemented in the several
Central and Eastern European countries - candidates to EU
membership, where it plays an active role and accelerates
the combat against corruption of the states and ensures citizens'
participation in this process.
The goal of the ALAC project is "To provide citizens
with the means to become actively involved in the fight against
corruption in their societies." ALAC Project Mandate
is to assist and give advice to the citizens - victims and
witnesses of corruption. The project activities focus on the
administrative and legal complaining procedures, as well as
monitoring of the mechanisms of corruption from the point
of view of the cases raised by citizens. However, we do not
represent clients in courts.
The project has five main pillars:
• Legal advice
• Education and information
• Advocacy
• Capacity Building
• Public outreach campaign through mobile trainings
and seminars
Legal Advice
From the perspective of a victim or a witness to an act of
corruption, legal advice is the activity by which he/she is
given help on how to use efficiently the legal procedures
of complaint regarding corruption.
Education and information
The anti-corruption education activity refers to the efforts
through which the ALAC team in cooperation with media and
educational partners educates population.
Advocacy
Advocacy builds upon the results of both legal advice and
education/information activities, in order to influence national
policies, anti-corruption legislation and institutional practices
towards a more efficient discouragement, prevention and punishment
of acts of corruption.
Capacity Building
Project team supports public authorities in their efforts
to establish and operate anti-corruption hotlines, working
groups and etc.
Public outreach campaign through mobile trainings
and seminars
Project team with the support of center's volunteers runs
anti-corruption mobile workshops for various targeted groups
with a special focus on rural population and provides onsite
free legal advice.
