USAID’s new Central Europe Program aims to strengthen the resilience and capacity of independent civic actors to protect fundamental freedoms. Dexis Consulting Group implements the Central Europe Program Rule of Law Activity (CEP ROLA), whose main objective is to build the watchdog skills of civil society and civic movements to enhance rule of law (ROL) observance, combat corruption, and increase access to justice. Dexis has partnered with the Berlin-based Hertie School and its Recharging Advocacy for Rights in Europe (RARE) network.
Dexis’ goal is to improve civic watchdog efforts in Poland, Hungary, and Bulgaria by increasing understanding in communities about Rule of Law (ROL) issues and answering to demands for transparency among the citizens of the target countries. These activities will improve public engagement, encourage debate about ROL issues and further develop civic education about citizens’ rights and responsibilities in their local and national governments.
Dexis plans to support initiatives that engage with the creative sector that are focused on helping general understanding of ROL concepts become more accessible to the public, especially youth.
Part of CEP ROLA’s approach is to develop and implement a robust regional learning agenda that is designed to provide contextual analysis, connect cross-sectoral stakeholders to encourage collaboration, exchange of ideas and strategies for improvement that can be adapted in their own communities.
Dexis aims to provide the following support:
